Half-Life 2 Confirmed for Xbox

Microsoft's David Hufford, product manager of the Xbox group, in a report by Puget Sound Business Journal is quoted saying "Half-Life 2 is not going to be on the Xbox." This statement conflicts with assurances made by Valve Software's Doug Lombardi earlier last month that an Xbox version of the game is in development.

Lombardi today told GameSpy Half-Life 2 is certainly in development for the Xbox. "Half-Life 2 is planned for the PC and Xbox. We've announced the shipping date for the PC version [September 30, 2003 - ed.], and we'll announce a shipping date for the Xbox version later in the year."

Microsoft was unavailable for comment on Hufford's statement at the time of publication.
