XBOX-HQ.COM - Xbox 2 plans will be revealed next month

SPOnG can exclusively reveal this morning that Microsoft is planning to lift the lid on its most sensitive XBox 2 plans next month, with various media and software partners scheduled to attend a keynote briefing.

At the meeting, to be held in Seattle on January 17, Microsoft’s Xbox team will seek to outline its key branding direction, underlining launch plans and what it perceives as its target demographic.

It’s worth bearing in mind that this news, 100% confirmed this morning by a senior source under conditions of anonymity, does throw weight behind the new console seeing daylight on January 5 at the Consumer Electronics Show, where Bill gates is set to make a keynote address.
