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

Clearly an equal to MoH.
Played the online mode yet? Some might call that a slight progression.

Yeah, look at Halo 2 for example.

Because gameplay progresses too.

It's called progression, if gameplay was the only thing that mattered, why bother with the Xbox 2?!
