Week in review: Ballmer guns for Sony!

[Dashken]

Microsoft isn't playing games when it comes to its ambitions for Xbox and the console game market.

During an interview with CNET News.com at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, CEO Steve Ballmer predicted that Microsoft would soon steal the game crown from Sony: "We may still be losing money, but we have gone from nowhere to a significant player with a whole different approach. I bet we can take Sony next generation."

Indeed, Microsoft has made progress, signing up more than 1 million subscribers for Xbox Live, the online game service the company launched in late 2002.

Meanwhile, Sony expects to show off its latest PlayStation at the E3 trade show next May, increasing pressure on Microsoft to take the wraps off its Xbox successor at that time.
