This next gen goes way beyond video games for Microsoft. Microsoft wants to own livingroom content distrbution in general not just gaming, as do Apple and Google and shitload of others. They have the ecosystem in place ready to support Web TV which is prety much the next gold mine and pendulum shift in user trends. Check out this article - http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/13/3633038/microsoft-xbox-360-trojan-horse-living-room My prediction for the next Xbox is that it will be able to tie in with cable companies and push Web TV for the likes of Comcast, Time Warner, Rogers, with full PVR capabilities... This will include full advertising monetization over IP as well a subscription (cable TV + Xbox Live). What do you think will sell more consoles... 8 GB od GDDR5 RAM or 99 dollar console, web TV, PVR all in one if you sign a 3 year cable agreement for standard monthly cable subscription? |
Sadly, its all hope and dreams, how the $99 360 deals doing in the US. I am going to pay MS, my cable company each month to watch tv, lol.
Next Gen
