One thing I don't get about Nextbox

Why do people think that having multimedia is going to kill software?  I've just seen a lot of  comments about the split in focus on Nextbox and I don't see it as having 1 or the other.   Do the same people who normally work on games have to work on apps and streaming?  How is this work divided?  Because honestly I don't see one effecting the other.  If all of their first party studios are making Kinect that's 1 thing but Xbox could easily do first party AND multimedia despite what has happened that last couple years.  Same goes for PS4.  Any reason this couldn't happen?

 

Because MS has blinders on. Much like the switch from core to casual. They lost sight of what they originally planed the xbox to be, and while doing so their core franchises dropped off in favor of pushing kinect. I don't expect it to be any different with their media. Putting too much resources into it and forgetter what it should do in the first place. That’s why. 

 

nonsense.
