xbox durango

Microsoft recently announced that the next generation XBox, codenamed “Durango”, will not be announced at this year’s E3.  This comes as a huge disappointment, especially in anticipation of the event itself.  Microsoft’s reason for withholding could be that many of the system’s specifications have already leaked.  They have little reason to announce the specs if people already have them.  They could also be awaiting the completion of game development, as those titles are a way out still.  The release of a new console is always an exciting venture for gamers, as it means a leap forward in the industry.  At the same time, I hope to still get a few good years out of my current gen consoles.
