Minecraft is actually proof of the idea.  Since MS bought it, they have launched it in almost every way possible in every OS or gaming system.  MS has changed dramatically with their new CEO.  They have embraced the idea that they want their products to be on every device, not just their own.  MS is launching thier Cortana digital assistant on IOS and Android.  MS is leaving the closed world business behind and going after all markets.


Sounds reasonable but I think the xb1 end result will dictate how to proceed in the future.  They still are in the wait and see approach. 

The problem with waiting is that in the meantime, they have to spend the BILLION + to develop the next console.  THey have to decide now, not later.  The benefit they do have if they wait, is that these consoles now are using many more "off the shelf" elements.  So, it may be possible to wait longer and pay extra later to develop the system faster...



It is near the end of the end....
