Microsoft has definitively said that there will be no new hardware announced at E3 or "any time soon". Until recently, I thought that was fine as the last thing the AAA industry needs right now is even higher budgets but now the iPress is going on about how the iPad 3 is supposedly as powerful as a 360 (which is hilarious in how wrong that is) and that in a couple of years, we'll all be using tablets instead of consoles for all our gaming anyway. These guys need new hardware just to shut those idiots up.

There really wasn't any worthwhile title released in Q1 for the xbox either so that may also effected the sales. I think May will turn that around when Max Payne, Ghost Recon, gets released.
With E3 approaching probably a lot of people are anticipating an announcement from M$ about a new console.
