Oh cool, but that still probably won't make the NextBox the only system people need for premium entertainment. Microsoft is an American Company, and just like all American Companies, it caters specifically to American tastes. This is why, almost all American Products, sell poorly worldwide.

Microsoft will be no different, you can't compate on an international scale when all your game studios are domestic.

Well we dont know that either.  If it is a dvr type box it could possibly replace a lot of media outlets.  And I'm american so i get what you say and all but Windows is an american product and look at it.  It is huge worldwide.  im not saying that it will rid other consoles, but it might do damage to other devices in the industry if that makes sense?  I doubt it will but im certainly glad to see an all media device like this and Maybe PS4 as well.  i personally find the tech tlike illumi room and fortaleza to be pretty amazing as well. not everybody will, and im assuming you dont, but a lot of people yes

Windows is huge worldwide, but it's not like Computer buyers have a choice. Microsoft and Apple entered the computer market before anyone else, and established themselves early on, making a monopoly. Microsoft and Apple are also two of the largest companies in the world, it's not like some larger company can just walk in and make an OS and get hardware manufacturers to build machines specific to that OS.

Microsoft could damage others by making good platformers, JRPG's and games MS hasn't traditionally made or bought exclusivity for, but I feel there they are a bit cocky about it (like Sony).

NextBox will probably be a good, all in one media system, but nothing beats my PC plugged into my TV. I really doubt it's the only box people need, especially when PS3/360 only recognized a limited list of file types, and were locked/limited in expanding that list. In terms of multi-media use, a PC or Android device will always be a lot better because the limitations of the hardware are user defined, and not manufacturer defined.

So, no matter how good of a multi-media device the next box because, I will not be impressed because I know MS will be greedy and charge a premium for various services, which either should be free, are cheaper by other means (legal means), or optimized better on other hardware (Facebook on PC is better then on console).
