Xbox 2 To Be Unveiled on MTV May 12

Posted by samzenpus on from the anything-but-videos dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft confirmed this morning that the Xbox 2 will be revealed on live TV on May 12. MTV will air a half-hour long special to launch the system. 'It doesn't make sense to unveil the product behind a closed door, at a trade-only event,' according to Microsoft corporate VP Peter Moore. 'We wanted to talk directly to the consumer first.'" More coverage available on GamesIndustry.biz and Press the Buttons.

    Why would MS have to make the specific claim that the Xbox could do 66 million polygons per second in order to back up the foul-mouthed poster's case? For instace, let's suppose the Xbox could handle 10 million polygons per second [numbers don't matter in this case] - by your logic, if MS claimed the Xbox could do 50 million polygons a second, the poster that replied to you would have no case because they didn't claim 66 million.

    Language is the only thing that separates us from animals. If you mean to say, "Show me where MS makes a claim that is not consistent with the hardware abilities of the Xbox." say that - don't ask for specific numbers. You know, if you have some time, perhaps you could enroll in a introductory logic class at the local community college, it could improve your ability to be understood. And improving that is always a good thing, right?

    God bless.
