Next Championship Manager for Xbox only

Eidos Interactive and Sports Interactive have announced today that the next instalment of their Championship Manager series, Season 02/03, is to appear exclusively on Microsoft Xbox in time for this Christmas. PC owners are going to miss out this time around, and we can’t imagine they’re too happy about that.

Miles Jacobson, MD of Sports Interactive said, “The success of the last game has proved to us that the Xbox is a console well worth our backing, and we look forward to bringing football management games to the Xbox on a regular basis.” As long as PC owners get a look in too, eh? No Championship Manager on PC is unthinkable. We’ll let Sports Interactive off this time, but just the once. Miles goes on: “We’re delighted to be bringing an exclusive version of Championship Manager to the Xbox in time for Christmas stockings, and, as well as fully updated data and the new transfer windows, we hope to have a few surprises in there as well.”

Sandy Duncan, VP Xbox, Europe commented, “Championship Manager is a legend, and we’re pleased that Season 02/03 is coming home exclusively to Xbox this season. Our great portfolio is really enhanced by this engrossing title, and we think Championship Manager Season 02/03 on Xbox will be on lots of Christmas lists this year.”

On Christmas lists along with a console on which to play it…
