Plucking it straws, it could just be that someone misheard the announcement: "There are two models, the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Core" Heard as: "There are two models, the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Four" /possible //worse things happen at sea

:oops: :oops: :oops: So it is. Er, it could be a screenshot then.

Neither that GOW(?) image nor the testdrive images are screenshots from an Xbox 360. The giveaway is the screensize - a lot of them are 1280 wide which won't be actually used for games. Personally I don't consider something to be a screenshot of a game unless it's actually from part of the...

Not doubting you, but do you have a souce for that for context ? cheers

Couple o'things: Either IGN are rubbish journalists or they just got a load of cash to run with this FUD article. Or both. Microsoft have suddenly realised how difficult it is launching your console first, and also realised that six months is not enough lead time to dominate the market...

You can tell it's not taking place in the UK. If you shoved a camera in people's faces like that over here you'd get some reaction, not just grimacing smiles. Edit : Even the Japanese are showing more emotion than the USians.
