    There is a massive section in my local newspaper on this today. M$ claim by 2006, xbox will have close to 40% of the market, while PS2 will have 50%.

    While I own a PS2, I look at games like Forza Racing on the xbox and it's competition like this that we desperately need. Games like Gran Turismo has been sitting at the top for too long.

    Xbox...Elijah Wood...MTV...
    It's the three things I despise the most.

    Seriously, what demographic is Microsoft trying to reach? The people who know the least about good gaming? Oh, wait, I think I figured it out...

      If they wanted to do that they would have introduced it on G4.

    We used to call it the Malcolm X-box, spiritual successor to the IHaveADreamcast.

  4. NOT the Xbox 360, according to Xbox rep... by mrdogi · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I work at a retail store, and the Xbox rep. was in today, making sure that I know about the unveiling on MTV. He let me know that the name was going to be call Xenon, not the 360. I'm assuming that that is the correct spelling.

    Anyway, thought you'd like to know, if you didn't already.

      Xenon is the internal codename for the project. All the released/leaked photos so far show the name as Xbox 360 and the marketing materials heavily feature circles. If it's not called Xbox 360, I'll eat my wavebird controller.
