Xbox 2 unveiling at CES 2005?

Tom Bramwell 13:46 09/08/2004
Microsoft issues no denial.


Senior industry sources, speaking to gamesindustry.biz over the
weekend, have indicated that it is extremely likely that Xbox 2 -
currently codenamed Xenon - will be unveiled during Bill Gates'
keynote address at the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in
Las Vegas on January 5th, 2005.

Gates, Microsoft chairman and chief-software-architect, was unveiled
as the keynote speaker by the Consumer Electronics Association late
last week, prompting speculation that Microsoft would use the platform
to unveil Xbox 2.

However, high-level talk amongst industry insiders, including analysts
and publishers, suggests that there's more to this particular rumour
than idle gossip. Microsoft has so far declined to comment, taking the
line that it does not respond to "rumour and speculation", but has not
issued a denial.

However, the platform holder has also yet to confirm plans for X04,
this year's version of its annual press event, and given the company's
apparent desire to gain first-mover advantage in the next generation
of home consoles, CES now seems like the most obvious chance to do
that before Sony and Nintendo roll out their future hardware at E3
next May.

The event also has some historical significance for the format - CES
2001 marked the debut of the first Xbox, when Bill Gates demonstrated
the console and game controller and showed off Oddworld Inhabitants'
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, and Argonaut's platform game Malice.

Earlier this month, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told a financial
analyst meeting that there will be no new Xbox this year, but that
does not rule out an unveiling within that time frame. "There's no new
Xbox in the next year, but man, are we hard at work on that next
Xbox," he told analysts.

A secret cabal known as the Illuminati, controls the Earth and will
bring about a satanic new world order?

*gasp* Government issues no denial.

Yeah, that's what they WANT you to think...

Seriously, you have no clue what's really going on or what's at stake...

That's right. The secret UFO cults are poised to strike. When
supertraitor George Bush gives the signal during his own "concession"
speech in the upcoming rigged election, co-conspirator John Kerry will
order his clone double to release an alien bio-weapon at the Democratic
victory party. The resulting panic will throw the nation into chaos as
fingers are pointed back and forth.

Of course, this will be the perfect time for the alien overlords to
finally reveal themselves and assert direct control of the US.

By the way Jordan, your Xbox video game system is actually part of an
elaborate mind control system involving traffic lights and weather
satellites. Mmmm. Mind control.

Hey, only 3 more months until Halo 2.

Wasn't there some semi-serious talk at some point claiming Bill Gates was
bugging people's homes via Xboxes and broadband connections because someone
found something that looked like a microphone in the Xbox's guts?

Or was that just an especially creative dream I had?

For a "secret" society, the Illuminati isn't doing a very good job...since
almost everyone has heard of their name.

Unless...that was part of their plan! Perhaps there really is a secret cabal
called the Illuminati, who let slip a few details about themselves--just
enough to make the general population dismiss their existence as the
paranoid fantasies of a few disturbed individuals.

Well, at least the clip art on the website is cute, in a 7th grader
did it sort of way.

And yes, I top-posted, just to cheese you off! Top posting is the
only way to combat the control of secret cabals!
