Description: The Xbox 360 is the successor to Microsoft's Xbox
video game console, developed in co-operation with IBM, ATI,
Samsung and SiS. Information on the console first came through viral marketing campaigns and it was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and
game information divulged later that month at the prominent
Electronic Entertainment Expo. The Xbox 360 is the first console to have a simultaneous launch across the three major regions, and the first to provide
wireless controller support at launch. It is the first console to be released in the seventh generation of
game consoles and will compete against Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii. Microsoft believes that its push towards high-definition gaming, year-early head start and its Xbox Live online gaming
service will help the console be successful
