Microsoft Confirms European Event
Microsoft Confirms European X05 Event Xbox 360 will be unveiled at a top-secret location. Microsoft confirmed today that the company plans to unveil its Xbox 360 next-generation gaming console to European trade and media in October at a currently undisclosed location, according to a report at GamesIndustry.biz. The event, the forth in a series which started with X01 in Cannes, will take place at an somewhere in Europe on October 4th and 5th, and the company is promising to reveal detailed plans for the Xbox 360 launch at the event. European Xbox vice president Chris Lewis stated "we have a lot to say and even more to show people...believe me, after X05 there will be no question that Xbox 360 is the next generation." According to the GamesIndustry.biz report, Microsoft has traditionally used the "X" events as a platform not only for revealing new games, but also for making key announcements related to the Xbox such as the pricing details for Xbox in 2001 and the acquisition of Rare in 2002.
