Microsoft to debut a new music game at E3

I don't really have any details at all, but I'm told by somebody involved in promoting it that Microsoft will be debuting "a brand new music/singing game." Given that "Rock Band 2" is an Xbox 360 exclusive (for a little while), I've got to imagine this is a much more casual title and not something that competes with "Guitar Hero" or "Rock Band' too directly.

Since I have so little info, this definitely falls into the "rumors" category, but it comes from a source who seems to know, so it's safe to say something is up with Microsoft and music next week.

Update: Kotaku links to my post and says the music/singing game in question is probably "Lips," from "Elite Beat Agents" developers iNiS. Given what a big fan I am of "Elite Beat" -- I've been playing it a lot recently after burning out on the lame and pointless "Guitar Hero: On Tour" -- that's pretty exciting. And a fun example of collaborative blog reporting. Go team geek journalists!

It's not collaborative reporting - Lips has been known about for months. The arrogance on this blog is unbelievable!
