its all about moving from a console to a service, and charging PC gamers to play games will struggle when you have Steam and many other free gaming portals. But the what MS will do will be making a universal games service thats able to play games steamed to your tv, windows phone/tablet and pc and there will be a console but it will be a Digital distribution only console.

But will people want a DD only console and would they want to pay a montlhy fee to play there games, or will they stick with Nintendo and SONY with a disk based console.


I have a theory. I have zero evidence back back this up but it's just a hunch. If someone is smart enough to build, or even just get a friend to build, a computer, then they are too smart to be paying for online exprience, one which they can get for free and better on the very same machine they are using.....

Hmmm, I build computers. I even own a business that builds custom gaming machines. And yet I pay for Xbox Live. Xbox Live is the best service around, way better than ANY one service you will find anywhere else. It combines all of the features into one hub that I can access with ease.

The day a PC service matches Xbox Live is the day Xbox Live goes to PC lol...

You make it sound like a unified service is good coughPSNcough. You get infinitely better service from the internet on Windows than you do from LIVE, and lo and behold, it's all for thw wonderful price of $0. Furthermore, do you pay for LIVE on the PC?
