This made us laugh.There's an amusing interview over at GameInformer with the Corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, Shane Kim, who told the site that company's biggest announcement at the recent E3 briefing was that Resident Evil 5 will be coming to Xbox 360. The title was actually announced for the Xbox 360 back at Tokyo Game Show in 2005. Kim must have been trying to think of something exciting to say about Microsoft's briefing, because let's be honest, it was a fairly uninspiring start to the show this year for the Microsoft camp. Unfortunately, he's just made himself look ill-informed instead.

GI: You're obviously doing OK in the States, you're doing great in Europe. Japan, you went in hard with it, you want to show them, "Hey, we've got you covered." You made a splash with Blue Dragon, for sure.

Kim: We'll do it again with Lost Odyssey.

GI: But those are two from one developer.

Kim: Yeah, but here's the thing: I think one of the most important, subtle announcements at the Xbox 360 briefing is that Resident Evil is coming to Xbox 360. Yes, it's from Capcom, who's been a great supporter of us.

GI: But we knew that two years ago.

Kim: What?

GI: Resident Evil. It was shown at TGS two years ago.

Kim: No, but coming to Xbox 360.

GI: Yeah. It was at the press event.

Kim: I don't think so.

GI: I'm positive. I was there.

Kim: Really?

GI: It was shown at both press conferences.

Kim: That RE5 was coming to…?

GI: Yep.

Kim: I'm going to have to confirm that. That was supposed to be the big announcement. Anyway, my point there though is that every major Japanese publisher is supporting the Xbox 360.
