TOKYO: Microsoft Corp said that 39 game makers will offer a total of 47
titles for the company's online game service set to be launched this autumn for
users of its Xbox console.
The US software giant said a starter kit for Xbox online games will be priced
at 6,800 yen ($54.5), which includes service fees for the first 12 months.
Last month, Microsoft said it was preparing a global online gaming network
for Xbox in a bid to jump-start Internet-linked video games. Microsoft rolled
out Xbox on February 22 in Japan following its US debut in November.
