E3 2005: Fun and Games.

This article presents information about Xbox 360, a powerful game console launched by Microsoft Corp. The next generation game consoles, whether intended for the living room or backpack, are not so much game devices as they are multimedia computers that happen to include gaming as a media. The Xbox 360 is an example of such game consoles. It won't be the most powerful game console in the world, but it may well be the most popular console due to its media console capabilities. Microsoft claims that it is aiming to reach a billion customers with the new Xbox 360 consoles. The Xbox 360 is a lot more than just a game console, bringing virtually every possible form of digital entertainment into the living room and backed by as much talent on the content side as the technical. For several hours after the press conference, which was organized to launch the new gaming console, the Microsoft website was inundated with the equivalent of an all out DNS attack as fans tried to get more information about the new unit.
