X-Box 2 in 2006 (oh god)

Speaking with the Japanese newspaper Nikkei yesterday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer revealed a tentative release period for the next iteration of the Xbox. According to Ballmer, the next Xbox console will fall sometime around the next World Cup soccer tournament, which, to those unaware, will be in the year 2006.


K, doesn\'t seem very likely, but oh well, felt like posting it.  We get to see another pitiful launch...

2006 huh?  By that time, Xbox will have a cult following and a considerable userbase on its\' Xbox Live service.

Of course this all depends on how well Xbox does...thinks it will be just fine

When Bill Gates approved the Xbox in the fall of 1999, he was told that the console could lose $900 million over eight years

Yeah over eight years!  They can make a lot of money in the next 7 and a half years.  And who says these figures are even accurate?  Their estimates to what each xbox costs is a bit high if you ask me.

I give this thread :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: out of four for trolling.

Oh NO!!! MS wants to make another videogame system in the normal amount of a console life cycle!!! They are trying to become a monopoly in the industry!! They are doomed!!!! You guys are fuckin annoying with this crap. Who cares that MS is losing money on this? I don\'t believe any of you hold any stock in MS. (most of you are too young or too naive to hold ANY stock or understand reasonable business, anyway).

As long as XBox keeps providing me with great games, I don\'t really care how much MS loses.
