Okay, MS obsession with Halo is wearing a little thin now. I thought the Cortana thing was funny, but 'Spartan'?

... wait *checks date* not April 1st....

Without the purchase of Halo Microsoft would never been welcomed into the gaming industry and they know it. As far as they are concerned they owe everything to Halo and saturation of the product based on its pass successes is what they consider the key to survival. The whole product revolves around Halo in some fashion. The second game in command is Forza since they recently made a hub for it.

Unless they can create new things themselves don't expect much from them unless its purchased. The only IP's MS has proven they can create themselves are simulators.

Non-gaming normal world (yes, we ain't normal. ) don't care about what they are called, while this may be a good thing as they won't get the reference but also they won't get the reference. :P

Forza is not the stand out game franchise you think it is, Gears of War is but only with 'dude-bro' gamers.... do you think MS will change the name of their Defrag programme to 'Lancer Defrag' soon? Sounds like something they'd do. In keeping with your ideas, 'WiFi' is will now be known as a 'Forza connection' (them not thinking about what the word actually means in say Italy... it'll make no sense but we will laugh).

True, it was their bright idea to bring Xbox to everything in the first place to try an be like Apple. If Cortana becomes a hit with the mass market they'll look at it as a novelty, kind of like how people saw the Kinect. Then again....I'm sure people like to talk about their sex life with siri more than Cortana though. LOL
