Just prior to Friday's earthquake, Microsoft announced plans for a "Kinect Experience Caravan Car Event" that would take the hands-free gaming peripheral on a tour of Japan over spring break. The company issued a statement today confirming that the event has been cancelled due to the quake.
The tour was set to kick off on the 19th in Hiroshima. In subsequent days, it would reach Fukuoka, Chiba, Kyoto and Kobe, but it was not scheduled to go into the north-eastern area of the country, where the earthquake's effects were most pronounced.
One of the big attractions for the event was a special truck that houses two Kinect demo spaces and a number of external monitors. Microsoft says that only nine of these trucks exist in the world.
