Xbox 360 Devkit Spotted at MadWorld Developer

Here is an interesting bit of information sure to add fuel to the belief that Sega is planning an Xbox 360 version of Madworld: A recent video tour of developer Platinum Games' studio reveals an Xbox 360 dev kit in full view of the camera. You can see the device, with its telltale extra height, sitting to the right of the designer's monitor at the beginning of the video below. Why would the lead animation designer for Madworld Wii need an Xbox 360 development kit so close to his workstation, unless….

Of course, Sega has vehemently denied rumors that its ultra violent game is anything but a Wii exclusive. This video also proves nothing, since there are many plausible reasons that a video game developer might have spare devkits lying around. There might even be a Playstation 3 kit somewhere off camera where we can’t see it.

Still, something about the rumor rings true for us, and we are very convinced that Sega would be throwing money away if they didn’t release the game on the 360 eventually. It seems to us that a game where you are awarded points for splattering opponents against a spike-covered dart board might resonate better with the Xbox 360 crowd than the Wii Fit demographic. Just remember, you read it here first, folks.
