Consolation

The big news on the console front is that Microsoft will be broadcasting Bill Gates' keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show tonight at 11:00 PM EST. In a related note, PS2.IGN.com's Pre-TGS 2001 coverage (called "The Calm Before The Storm") is underway, while in another smooth segue, Do You Want To Phone Bill Gates? is one of the stranger promotions you'll see, as they say dollar Bill's phone number is going to be revealed at some point during the T.G.S. (perhaps during that aforementioned keynote). Speaking of the keynote, Pre-TGS Bloomberg Breaks Keynote Details on Xbox.IGN.Com reports that "According to documents received by Bloomberg News, Microsoft's Japanese strategy will include an initial focus on the core gamer, ages 18-30 and will forego any attempts at developing an Online audience until its second year of sale." While the press release that followed less than 24 hours after that report called Microsoft, NTT Comms to Link Xbox Into Internet fills in some details. Meanwhile, Xbox marks his spot on CNET.com interviews Microsoft's Seamus Blackley about the Xbox, Seamus freely admitting he considered MS the "evil empire" before joining. Finally, in a story unrelated to the Xbox whatsoever, there are new Dreamcast Soldier of Fortune previews on DailyRadar and Dreamcast.IGN.com, each offering up some new screenshots.
