As this current generation of game hardware enters it's final big holiday season, the "Big Three" have started to leak some specs on their new hardware currently in R&D in order to get people talking and the hype machine a whirling all over again.
Sony has its mythological "Cell Processor". Nintendo, its revolutionary new idea. And Microsoft its foot strongly in onlines door.
They've all got compelling strengths closing this generation of hardware and much mystery swirling the outcome of the future. That is until Microsoft, in usual style, decided to march by the beat of its own drum and release the first image of its upcoming "xbox 2" console. (yet to be named)
What effect this will have on Nintendo and Sony have yet to be seen as they have commented on unveiling their successor systems at next years E3 in March. Sony, never one to play catch up, may have to rework its strategy from such a surprise move by Microsoft that these next few months may proved to be very interesting indeed.
Judging by the photo, Microsoft's yet unnamed console shows it to be a very proud system and not giving into the Japanese complaints of size and the complaints of every 8 year olds thin arms by trying to house as much as physically possible which does in fact show it to be promising in terms of power.
Should be a very interesting Q1 next year to see if any other companies jump the gun in hopes of garnering much needed attention.
Finally I'll leave you with the only thing you came here to see, the first image of the xbox 2.
BREAKING: A recent report from Microsoft unveils the companies merge with "Friendly Homes" in an effort to provide "totally cool" living conditions for those war stricken in the Middle East. Microsoft reports its plans to send in excess of 400 xbox 2 consoles for those in need of shelter. God help us all.
