Next Xbox to get MTV unveiling
Console will be featured in a May 12 special

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Microsoft Corp. Monday said it would
unveil the next generation of its Xbox video game console in a May 12
special on cable music and entertainment channel MTV.
The unveiling will be a first, as video game companies usually take the
wraps off their new consoles at the industry trade show E3 -- which will be
held the following week in Los Angeles.
Microsoft said the special would also air in Japan the morning of May 13 and
across Europe that evening. Actor Elijah Wood will host the show.
The special will include footage of next-generation Xbox games and also
online play, Microsoft said.
The company has not set a release date for the Xbox successor or even
announced a name, but the new hardware is expected to be released later this
year.
Market leader Sony Corp. has said little about the timetable for its
next-generation PlayStation console, but there is speculation it will offer
details at E3 next month.
Last week Sony advised it would hold its E3 press conference a few hours
before Microsoft's, a break with tradition that some saw as a sign Sony
wanted to steal Microsoft's anticipated thunder.
