Gloves come off in console wars

 

Microsoft took the wraps off its next generation Xbox 360 games console today - and took the gloves off in the latest round of an fight to dominate the £6bn market.

In a star-studded launch that was scheduled to be broadcast early this morning on MTV America and presented by the Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood, the firm paraded a product it says will "kick the backsides" of its rivals.

Xbox 360, which can play videogames, DVDs, CDs and connect to the internet, is due to arrive in US shops for Christmas but no European launch date has been confirmed. Microsoft claims it will raise the bar in gaming.
