ike i just said to busted -- i really really large part of the world already has a compatiable device and those that don't won't be buying a console either...

MS did done do it right by supporting all platforms.  i've got two iphones already (3 if you count that of my wife's).   so you just remember -- already bought and purchased is probably a good $300 cheaper than a wii U.  as far as being better in a year -- that's fucking right it will!  and the wii U won't...that's a huge part of what i like about the mobile market ... things are actually getting better instead of stagnated for 6-7 years at a time.

Only problem with cross-platform/system/unit support is that most third-party game developers won't deal with it unless it is there from the beginning and in every single console.

Of course, some might see it as blinking brilliant since they can now get you to DL the 99-cent iOS game, then go buy the $60 retail game to make it work. 

Realistically, this technology could be something big next time around. But it probably won't impact the 360 that much.
