for Microsoft's "Xbox 2" told IGN that the publisher "definitely aims to
launch the console in North America for Christmas 2005." A November time
frame was given. A European release will follow in 2006, said the
source. The "Xbox 2" will use PowerPC based architecture similar to the
chipset powering Apple's G5 computers. That being the case, Microsoft's
early "Xbox 2" development kits have been little more than modified
Apple G5 systems pre-packed with "Xbox 2" emulation software.
So, they did switch from Intel based platform. I wonder what this will
mean for portability of Xbox games to the PC? :)
