Microsoft have confirmed the next-gen XBox will make its debut on the as-yet-unnamed MTV special, opting to unveil it first to the wider public instead of at the games industry-only E3 Expo:

"It doesn't make sense to unveil the product behind a closed door, at a trade-only event. We wanted to talk directly to the consumer first," said Peter Moore, corporate vp-worldwide marketing and publishing for Microsoft Xbox.
