1up.com has a preliminary English translation of the full games list for the Xbox 360, including new announcements from the Xbox Summit. So far, beyond the confirmation that the Ridge Racer 6 is coming to the platform, there are several untitled projects yet to be named. Until Microsoft releases a list of just the announcements at the summit, it’ll be hard to tell how significant the event was in terms of new software commitments.
Beyond software announcements Microsoft has confirmed that it will be launching the Xbox 360 worldwide in Holiday 2005 simultaneously. Previously there had been rumors that the summit event would be used to delay the release date in Japan. This simultaneous release will be a first for such a major console release. Typically consoles have released in Japan, then headed to America and finally Europe. It is expected Sony and Nintendo will be launching their consoles as per tradition, in Japan. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3142257
