Rumors Suggest 2005 Launch For Xbox 2

Various rumors have begun to spread across the Internet, claiming that the release date of the next generation Xbox has been confirmed as November 2005 in the US. The rumors stem from unnamed retail sources and cannot be verified at this time. A late 2005 release date has long been the assumption of many industry experts but the breaking of the news today on high-profile consumer sites has lead to an unexpectedly negative response, with gamers complaining at the much shorter lifespan this will imply for the Xbox, when compared to other consoles.
