(RUMOR) - Ridge Racer An Xbox 360 Launch Title?
Ridge Racer 6 may be a surprise launch title for Microsofts Xbox 360, according to Namcos updated U.S release calendar - which slots the game in for an autumn 2005 date. The newest installment of the arcade racing series had no official launch date set after it was confirmed for Microsofts next generation machine, but speculation persisted that the company was pushing Namco for the title to line-up with the arrival of Xbox 360. The Ridge Racer franchise has been a mainstay for Sonys PlayStation format franchise since 1994 after a previously successful stint in video arcades. A launch on Xbox 360 would be an obvious coup for Microsoft.
