The new console will be called the Xbox 360, and it is the first console from Microsoft or any other gaming manufacturer to include a series of custom Power PC processors.

But wait, there is more: the 360 also is the most versatile game console yet, with USB ports to enable a wide collection of peripherals and expansion devices.
