This isn't necessarily good news to the core gamer crowd, but the casual crowd will love this. More ability to play those phone/tablet games is a big seller. I have brought this up in other threads, and mostly got flack because "we don't want those games". The thing is, they know you don't want them. This capability is for what XboxOne was really aiming for - the crossover appeal to sell these to people outside the core gamers. This is the reason that Kinect is required and won't just go away. Whether people who frequent this site like it or not, digital download gaming is already the norm in tablet/phones and is gaining "Steam" in PC. Within the next 2 years, it will probably be the standard for consoles(yes, even the PS4). Like it or not, here it comes. The only bad part that i can see is the hardship put on developers to try and release a AAA game at anything more than $30 when so much content will be out there for under $10. This won't really expand the crowd buying AAA gamestoo much, as they want cheap titles with short play periods.
