If Nintendo demo'd the execution of Reggie at E3, would Microsoft off Ballmer within a year?

Microsoft isn't supposed to come out with a tablet, they're supposed to come out with an app that will let you use your own existing smartphone or tablet with Xbox. Which is much, much smarter than anything Nintendo has shown regarding the Wii U thus far.

That sounds like the dumbest idea i've heard in a while. Not only is every tablet/phone different, they also don't have any buttons or thumbsticks. In almost every possible way, that idea would fail miserably.

What would it fail to do, exactly? It sounds like you're assuming it would be an attempt to do exactly what the Wii U controller does, but it probably wouldn't.

I think the more relevant questions is- what the hell would it do & what would be the point of connecting random tablet devices to your console? You couldn't actually play games with your tablet/phone, so then what? How would it add to a gameplay experience, especially when every phone is different and probably most wouldn't even work...
