I really think the best way MS can get in every living room is if they offer Xbox Live to all platforms and devices. Why not make the retail version of COD exclusive to Xbox and allow other console owners to play the game by downloading through Xbox Live on Playstation and Nintendo WiiU...


That is actually a brilliant idea!  I don't think Sony or Nitendo would both agree.  Perhapse one company would if they were desperate, but I don't think they want to let other companies on their systems.

Still, would be cool - it would cross platform like SmartGlass.


I think they should though. Especially since consoles are getting more and more app driven. I would like to get a Virtual Console and PSN app on my Xbox. The tree of them could just release some games and gimped versions of some exclusives. Like say you could buy COD on XBL from your PS4 but wouldn't have access to DLC and/or multiplayer. If you want multiplayer you have to get the retail version which is only available on Xbox. The good thing about this is that even if you chance console you would be able to keep your games since they're from XBL. Sony and Nintendo could release something similar... Cloud Gaming could bring a lot, MS doesn't care where Windows ends up as long as it sells. I think that's what they will be doing with XBL and Kinect. Every hardware company should be able to make an Xbox and Kinect... now Smartglass is making sense.
