Microsoft has confirmed to VG247 this morning that there will be no Xbox 360 press conference at Games Convention next week.
“No press conference from us per se,” we were told by a rep via email, who added that the company’s booth will instead have rolling demos on its exterior and behind closed doors slots.
The news leaves only one platform holder conference left for GC 2008, that being Sony at 5pm CET on Wednesday, August 20.
Nintendo confirmed in May that it would be avoiding the show altogether.
We will, of course, be bringing you the Sony conference live from front row (ish) seats. Check out Sony’s line-up here.

Didn’t take Microsoft long to forget about Europe again, did it?

Spunked it all on E3, innit.

There were quite a few games that we know are on the way that they didn’t show at E3, though. Would’ve been nice to have had a second conference with that stuff included. I suppose some of them might be on the show floor, but it doesn’t seem very likely without some kind of conference-announcement-hoo-hah.

I reckon if they were going to announce anything big they’d have a conference. I wouldn’t hold out for much in terms of announcements.

Seems over for Leipzig.

Aren’t Bungie going to have their own one here for their big announcement? Or is that somewhere else?
Also don’t MS do a funky X event in Europe at some point too - or am I getting that confused too?

I’m not aware they’re doing anything at GC, nope.

Be interesting to see what happens next year. They say they’re going to put it on again despite the “official” show on Cologne.

Nice to see Europe getting games conventions love as usual.

As I said in another thread, they should move tthe G|C to France, it’d be a much more significant event there.
