Microsoft Discusses Next-Gen Event, Xbox Exclusives

May 21 may be the reveal of the next Xbox, allegedly named Xbox Infinity, but "E3, if you're a gamer, it's going to be tons of exclusives, world premieres," said Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg. The head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment business continued, "And obviously even beyond that we have a lot to share between than and this holiday."

Holiday seems appropriate for a next-gen Xbox release, of course -- Sony's PlayStation 4 is confirmed for this fall.

In a discussion on Microsoft's official gaming podcast, Major Nelson Radio, Greenberg, teased, "We definitely have a lot of surprises planned" for the Xbox Reveal event on May 21. "People are going to get a great inside look at really the making of the new platform and the team that's brought it to life."

Greenberg continued, "The team here has been hard at work for many many years on what we're going to show in the next few weeks. We have so much goodness that there's no way we could have packed it into one event."

See for yourself how the Xbox Reveal lives up to the hype on May 21. IGN's coverage of the event starts promptly at 9am Pacific and lasts throughout the day as we go behind the scenes on Microsoft's campus.
