The PlayStation 4 is now an official project and it seems that Microsoft is also ready to reveal its upcoming Xbox 720 platform, with an event that’s set to take place on April 26.

Citing a trusted source that is said to be working on the Xbox 720, Rob Crossley, from CVG, announced the new rumored date via Twitter.

Previous rumors have also mentioned a potential April reveal for the Xbox 720, although no date was mentioned.

Microsoft is expected to reveal a console that has better integration with Kinect, more processing power and more options linked to streaming.

The PlayStation 4 is set to be launched before Christmas this year and Microsoft will probably aim for the similar date to make sure that it loses no sales to its competitor.
