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.

    I mean come on if your reading this site you wouldn't be caught dead with anthing made by microsoft...so why even report on the xbox 2 because I would think no one here would care.

    Or is it the responsibility of the editors to find fuel to add to the Microsoft bashing fire.

      Yes, you might be right.

      Slashdot should block out anybody using an IE browser, or anyone on a microsoft platform.

      The other 5% can have a big party.

      So, when the release date for Longhorn is announced, that also won't be 'news for nerds'?
