Friday, February 22, 4:43 PM ETThe next Xbox will be revealed in April, "developers and other industry professionals" tell gaming site CVG. Hopefully the hardware will literally be revealed - Sony failed to do this at its PS4 event, or provide pricing info. Past rumors mention an 8-core CPU and 800 MHz. GPU from AMD, a Blu-ray player, a next-gen Kinect with lower latency and an improved color stream, and (most intriguingly) a cheap Xbox set-top focused on casual gaming and media use. Microsoft (MSFT) had been expected to show off the next Xbox at June's E3 convention.

Its the TV (home entertainment) battlefield that is the next war. MSFT has a chance to get further ahead of the entire market with this release. Xbox 360 is a fine home entertainment device, but it has a long way to go...especially with AAPL, GOOG, INTC, etc. in or entering the market.
The landscape of the early TV/home entertainment device war will be defined on this reveal, of the Xbox 720. Boom or bust? Depends on what MSFT has up their sleeve.
