| Microsoft's Xbox 360 press-conference took place after the Sony PS3 event yesterday, and it pretty much got swept over by the Sony PS3 hype wave. One of the Microsoft Execs said Xbox 360 is the most powerful game platform - well that just sounds funny after having seen the specifications of the Sony PS3. Microsoft made some additional announcements like that the Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with Xbox games. Also Final Fantasy XI (Square Enix) will come to Xbox 360. Microsoft is planning a global launch. This is a world's first. In addition, more than 160 games are in development for Xbox 360, with 25 to 40 games slated for release this calendar year. Microsoft showed an extended Dead or Alive 4 live game play video that really looks amazing and fun. |
