XBOX GOING CELLULAR
At last weekend's Tokyo GameShow 2002, Microsoft marketing director Takashi Sensui revealed that negotiations are currently underway to connect the Xbox console with cellphone users in Japan. According to Sensui-san, Microsoft believes the wireless market will provide a much needed boost for the Xbox console in the region. Seemingly, Microsoft plans to offer special downloadable games and special features for wireless users, although wireless devices won't be used for actual Xbox games. Thereby, much of Microsoft's wireless plans will be utilized for promotional purposes. It's believed Microsoft plans to partner with several major wireless providers in the region for their cellphone service, although definitive launch plans remain undisclosed.
