One day after Japanese reports came out talking about the future of HD-DVD and Xbox 360, Microsoft has issued an official response saying they have no plans to support HD-DVD.

“Microsoft, in both America and Japan, has not announced anything regarding the possibility of a next-generation DVD drive being placed in the Xbox 360,” a company spokesman told gaming-oriented website IGN. “There are currently no plans to release an Xbox 360 equipped with a next generation DVD player.” The comment followed a report by the Japanese news agency Jiji that Microsoft would ship an HD DVD-equipped 360 some time in 2006.
