EA's Plans for Xbox 2

Posted by Zonk on from the not-a-lot-of-sense-here dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has news of EA's Xbox 2 plans for 2005, adding additional weight to the likelyhood of a new console by the end of the year. Oddly, the story states that the games in the works for the new console will also be developed for the current iteration of the Xbox. This may partially confirm the lack of backwards compatibility discussed previously on Slashdot and seems to pit Microsoft's new console against the old one for sales dollars.

    You know, as soon as I read the headline, I had a picture of a Gary Larson-esque viking ship with a bunch of XBoxes in the little seats where the rowers sit.

    Monday... it makes the mind do stupid things.
