Now a new rumor claims that the next Xbox is facing an issue that could delay its launch until sometime in 2014.Rumor: Blu-Ray license issues could delay next Xbox until 2014?
MondoXbox.com claims, via unnamed sources, claims that the management of a large retail chain in Italy has been told that Microsoft has been having some issues with obtaining the license for a Blu-Ray disc player in the next Xbox, apparently due to a long time console exclusive contract with Sony, and this might make the next Xbox miss a launch by the end of 2013.
