MS have been acquiring a ton of studios, retail, XBLA, and kinect based. I think they will appeal to the core gamer and regain their trust once again, while pushing the media hub to the casuals. Everybody wins....its a delicate balance but I think MS is aware that they need the gamers back on their side if they are to win.
My 2 biggest hopes are that MS inplements "Xbox Plus", it would go a long way to help justify Gold to the nay-sayers.
Secondly would be to announce second, yet release before Sony, ultimate trolling on MS's part!
