Who would of thought it, eh? It's been going around industry circles for weeks, but finally the fact has leaked that the next generation console war may begin as early as Q4 2005 - and not just in America. Apparently Microsoft UK are planning a winter launch extravanganza for the Xbox 2 only weeks after the US launch.

However, some are criticising the move and claim it's forcing this generation of consoles to end too quickly, and that the current crop have plenty left to achieve. Saying this, the Xbox first party schedule has seemingly 'dried up' and, along with shortages of the console, one wonders why they are trying to push Xenon so hard for 05'.

I've adapted this from [URL]http://gamesindustry.biz/[/URL], which has the whole article.

I wonder whether this will force the other 'big 2' into an early 06 launch, if not Q4 05?

Your mum says that's what she hears you telling your boyfriend most saturday nights. She says there's two minutes of funny noises and then you go and watch your 'Football First'.

No, we live in countys over here (and we don't own them).

Look if you can't learn how things are done here then go back to the Louisiana swamp.

I couldn't agree more.

When I saw the state of your parents, keeping it in the family seemed like the best thing to do.

I'll grow up when CSI comes on or when this ceases to be fun.

Whichever happens first. :D
