Xbox 2 for Xmas?

Xbox 2 - codenamed Xenon - is due out by the end of this year in the US and Europe according to today's MCV.

Xbox 2 was always likely this year in the US with EA having already announced "Xenon" versions of some franchise titles, but the big news is the plan for a near-simultaneous launch in Europe. Could European and US early-adopters be unwrapping Xbox 2's next Christmas? E3 in May will reveal the answer, though that won't stop the gossip.
