X07 not happening

Microsoft makes other plans.

Microsoft's annual European event, called X07 this year, has been cancelled according to Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Since the X0 event first began in 2001, Microsoft has used the opportunity to make announcements to the European press. At last year's X06 in Barcelona, for example, the company revealed Halo Wars and its collaboration with Peter Jackson, and at X02, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Rare.

"There is not a real X07 this year but I think that we will figure out some way to talk about 2008 some time at a different event or a different type of programme," Greenberg told Squad XP's Podcast.
