| Shorty11857 said: I think Microsoft would be stupid to sell off the xbox division mainly because I think it can be their next Windows well not the xbox but live. All their most successful products exist because of windows such as office. Live could be the same, things like the Zune marketplace are worthless on their own but when you can combine them with a service like Live you can have some decent success. I could be completely wrong but I really think Microsoft does (or at least should) think of Live in the same way they do Windows |
Nope. You're spot on I'd say. Live is the real winner MS have, not the console itself. These day's I'd say the 360 exists really as the dedicated device for Live, in much the same way the ipod was the dedicated device for iTunes.
Of course, we might both be wrong!
One potential early test will be the new Windows 7 phones with Live integration. We may see there a clearer view of whether Live really can push additional sales and make the device more appealing.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
