Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes the Xbox, set to be assembled in Hungarian plants owned by Singaporean manufacturer Flextronics, could create as many as 5,000 jobs in Hungary. Microsoft won’t confirm those projections, but agrees that Xbox building will be big business in Hungary. “It will probably be the largest sales turnover enterprise in Hungary,” said Microsoft’s Peter Gaal, “I can't tell you exactly the size of the production...It is also unclear how many new jobs it will create. It will be many, maybe several thousand.”
