Xbox 2 Sneak Peek May Not Involve Hardware?

Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for its article discussing the possible unveiling of the Xbox 2 at Game Developer's Conference in San Jose later this month. According to the piece, a Microsoft Japan staffer suggested that "the console's actual hardware will probably not be unveiled at GDC, and that a decision had not yet been taken to as to when the technical specifications of the system should be released." Although some basic technical details have allegedly been leaked, the piece argues: "Some commentators have suggested that Microsoft is holding back from a final decision on the RAM, and possibly on the inclusion of a hard drive, until it finds out what Sony is planning to do with the PS3."

Well, just nice to see Sony still has a real lead in the industry, not only in sales but also in deciding what other hardware will look like.

It's always nice to see Microsoft demonstrating their ability to innovate in any industry they tackle.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft and Sony get their marketing information through "leaks" in Slashdot.
