Xbox 2 to Release in Fall of This Year
GamesIndustry.biz has the news that the Xbox 2 will be launched sometime in late fall of this year. With EA games already working on Xbox 2 titles and rumors of a name for the console in circulation, it looks like the first of the next-gen consoles will be here soon. From the article: "Many have expressed concern that Microsoft is forcing the next generation of console hardware too early, and that the current generation still has much to achieve. The most famous example of this came from then Nintendo of Europe MD David Gosen speaking at an ELSPA summit in London last October, where he lambasted Microsoft for pushing a next generation machine to market in 2005, and even went so far as to question Microsoft's motivation as profit." Additionally, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has Balmer saying that they will "blow by Sony" with their next console.
Gotta love Microsoft. Looks like they're really pushing for success with this one by following in the footsteps of Sega.

Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Phew, and that strategy of getting the console out early so it grabs vast amounts of market share worked so well for Sega, 3DO, Atari and so many others, right?

If there was an article about Bill Gates wiping his nose, he'd be criticised here.
With good reason! Have you seen the brand of tissues he's using? That stuff is made directly from trees!
Responsible people use tissues made from recycled paper. He's clearly mad with power!

Sam and Max called, Mr. Ballmer, and the little bunny said to go fuck yourself.
Live in girlfriends / wives don't like lots of boxes cluttering up "their" living room. That's wasted space where you could put another coffee table or something.
