KARACHI: The highly anticipated May 21st event, where the successor to the Xbox 360 will be unveiled on stage, the latest rumor has reportedly emerged about the release date of the Xbox 720 console to be slated for sometime in 2014.
Surprisingly, the reason for the delay is reported due to an exclusive agreement Sony has with the Blu-Ray disc format. Even though Microsoft chose to use DVD discs for the Xbox 360 whereas the PS3 already operates on Blu-Ray, it has been reported that a Blu-Ray format will be used for the new Xbox as well.
Since Sony utilized the Blu-Ray format first, it is reported that Microsoft will have to wait until 2014 to release their Xbox with Blu-Ray support. It seems that the hype of the presumed release of Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox will remain just hype, with Sony being the one to release the only console later this year.
