Xbox isn't an gaming console

Well thats an bold statement. MS should shut up about this because they risk in Alienating there Core User base that has bought them around 45 million xbox's out of those 50 million.

Does this mean that MS sole focus with the xbox is Nintendo's market. This could back fire with some of those core audience defecting to SONY which could affect software sales on the 360 and boost ps3 sales.

Maybe this has to be the reason why there hasn't been many core 360 exclusives announced for the first half of the year other than kinect titles and downloadable ones. 

Alienating their core userbase? Are you fricken jokin'? The sluts who buy multiple consoles and complain about exclusives don't matter to them because they can treat them like crap but they know they'll get some regardless. The core are the single console userbase who aren't whores and buy from the whole range of 1st and 3rd party content, they are for the most part more than satisfied.

Is it even possible for a company like Microsoft to have a 'sole focus'? Anyway they've answered your question  already and thats 'no'. Its kind of obvious really to NOT ignore a large proportion of your game buying population, obviously.

what they should be saying is that "the xbox is not only an gaming console but an family entertainment machine as well" 

But this is like you buy an console that was reguard as the adult hardcore machine only for an few years down the track the company going okay lets turn it into an family freindly device. While it may offer the hardcore stuff you would want the company to focus mainly on the hardcore stuff, because thats what you bought the machine for. 

It SONY was to turn around and say, Well the PS3 plays High Def games but from now on its SD all the way. You would feel ripped and should of brought an wii instead. 

That's completely different. The 360 is still doing all the same things it has ever done - Putting Kinect with it and adding Kinect features doesn't take away from what 360 consumers already have with the console, it only adds. If PS3 took away HD that would simply be removing features.

I highly doubt the 360 will be overly infested with Kinect-only games. It's barely the beginning of the year, have some patience for Microsoft to announce some new games.

 

Edit: Unless of course, you meant if PS3 games started getting released without HD support somehow. If that's the case, I see what you mean, but like I said, I doubt Microsoft will overly infest the new year with Kinect-only games. They'll do both at the same time, so they aren't removing the hardcore games, and I'm sure there will be enough of them.
