I think online / digital focus will continue to be the centre of MS Xbox strategy. I don't predict anything different or big, but I do think they will improve what they are doing right now with X360.
- I predict multiple tiers of xbox live subscriptions
- More emphasis on virtual goods and microtransactions (Free2Play, Avatars, Pay-per-View...etc)
- TV network
- More Interactive Ads
- More web based applications / sites integrated into xbox live
- Bridging of Window based products with Xbox (Tile interface, W7phone connection with Xbox)
On the technical side of things, I really have no idea how much of improvement nextBox will have over X360.
- New disc format (blueray?)
Gaming wise, I am kind of optimistic in terms of first party support but 3rd party support is pretty much in the bag in comparison to Nintendo and WiiU.
