By Billy Brown Bill Gates is not a shy man Bill Gates made a surprise appearance at E3 and not surprisingly, was quite enamored of his Xbox 360. The Microsoft head honcho boasted that the Xbox 360 will have a ten mill lead on the competition by time the other guys (Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PS3) get out of the gate. Quite a nice advantage to have, isn't it? Microsoft also provided some juicy info about what's coming around the corner for the Xbox 360. Here's the full scoop: Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates today staked the claim that the Xbox 360TM system will have a 10 million-unit head start by the time the competition enters the market and more than 160 games by the end of the year. Gates went on to outline the company's bold new vision to connect millions of Xbox 360 gamers with hundreds of millions of Microsoft® Windows®-based PC and mobile gamers from around the world through the Xbox Live® online entertainment network. Gates made the announcements at a press conference to open the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the largest annual confab for the interactive entertainment industry.
