The next Xbox

The Wii U has been on sale since November, and Sony offered a peek behind the PS4 curtain in February -- so what about the next Xbox? Nothing is official yet, and the big question is whether Microsoft will wait for an E3 coming-out party in June, or have a PS4-style event in April or May.
