No, personally I have a huge backlog of unplayed games but I still want as many exclusives as possible for X360 so it can win the console war.

ROI on a Skype purchase will be very low. Mark my words.

FYI I have over 20 unplayed games in my backlog. And I need to finish them all in time for 11 11 11.

What is your reasoning for the low ROI?

Considering that Skype is set to do 1 billion in revenue on subscriptions alone, and that they do not have any advertising revenue being generated as of yet, I'd say that it could easily become a billion dollars in profit per year type of service.

Not to mention the benefits integrated skype service provides to products like Windows 8, Xbox live and WP7...

Oh I didn't know Skype had paid subscriptions lol. I thought u just put a few pennies into your Skype account and started calling.
