I honestly don't think it will, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if it did. I mean, people were clamouring for Ibanez to release a new guitar in a non-black finish, something fresh and new please, like what you used to do, Mr. Ibanez...
They bring out the Xiphos and within a year have been so inundated with "why isn't there a black one?!" that ended up releasing one. I mean, come on. When black is their most popular colour, why not? People bitch about the 1527 being blue, they bitched about the MC and VK colours being 'faggy' - what does everyone want, AAA quilt tops or some sort of psychic paint that morphs to whatever colour you want?
As for the Microsoft statement, the S7320 did come out (not quite on time, but since no date was ever given an extra year isn't that bad, and for that wait we got the ZR-7), and the RG2228 did come out on time; indeed, the reason distribution was so appalling was because they didn't make enough, thinking everyone hated black extended range instruments. Evidently they were wrong.
