Well, the news are out: http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/report/20100126.htm

What I can make out of the translation is:

• They will focus on delivering games that use Live.
• They'll release a demo of Lost Planet 2 on May 20 (plus costumes of Gears of War characters).
• Keiji Inafune showed up to talk about Dead Rising 2 and its weapon customization, and apparently about the movie adaptation (he comments that he's a fan of B horror movies and "wanted to make a cheap horror movie myself").
• They also discussed Super Street Fighter IV, which will be released on April 28, and whose new animated sequences have been directed by Fuminori Kizaki, of Afro Samurai fame.

All these were already announced in one way or another, but here comes the real news: they are porting Monster Hunter Frontier Online to the system. It's not clear whether they mention the 150 million players figure as just a measure of the game's popularity in the PC platform, or that they mean to let Xbox 360 players interact with the PC version ones.
