Microsoft showed XBox 360 (The Box Previously Known As XBox 2) on MTV with Elijah Wood! Dood, that's crazy, why don't Microsoft previewed it during E3? That's always been the tradition isn't it? Apparently, here's their strategy: every console-makers show their stuff in E3. PS3 will be shown in E3. Learning from past experience, where a crowd will choose PS2 than XBox when given a choice, MS doesn't want to make the same mistake. They know everyone will go for PS3 if PS3 is out. So... sell XBox 360 to those people who can't wait for PS3 =)
See the XBox 360 specs: 3.2Ghz, 512 Video RAM, 500Mhz GPU. How can Microsoft sell these things around $360 (is that why it's called XBox "360")? Well, they have to sell them in volumes... big big volumes... else it'll be a loss...again.
