After Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 in February<\/a>, everybody turned to Microsoft expecting a reveal of the next Xbox<\/a>. Previous rumors suggested an April showing, but a new report says that we won’t be seeing anything about the new console until May. <\/p>\n

Paul Thurrot revealed during the latest “What the Tech?!”<\/a> podcast that Microsoft would be unveiling its next Xbox on May 21. The Verge<\/a> was able to confirm the date with sources close to Microsoft saying that the event was originally schedule for April, but was pushed back to May for an unknown reason. <\/p>\n

There wasn’t much more information revealed about the console, but Thurrot did throw out one interesting tidbit – the price. He claims that the next Xbox will retail for $500, but will only cost $300 if the consumer chooses to go with a subscription service. A subscription model would be nothing new for the company as it already offers the Xbox 360 for $99 with a two-year contract that has the consumer paying a monthly fee for Xbox Live. <\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, Thurrot also says that the internal Microsoft documentation he has mentions the always online requirement<\/a> that stirred up quite a bit of controversy<\/a> last week. <\/p>\n

As for the event itself, The Verge’s report says that Microsoft will be holding a small event in May to officially unveil the console and a few of its core features. The company will be saving most of its big announcements, however, for E3 in June. <\/p>\n
