I would redevelop the Xbox One and make it more powerful or I would lower the price of Xbox One and/or sell it without the Kinect.
I would make Rare as good as they were in the N64 days.
Finally, I would buy Activision, Ubisoft, Rockstar and EA and make all their games exclusives.

hugh I don't want you at the head of MS ever then lol

smart business move probably but that's pure McDonaldization of a console.... bigger, unoriginal and bland for the masses

True but it would sell loads! I would still work on the Kinect, illumiroom and TV funtions but they wouldn't be my priority.

Sweet new ranking system Jaywood!

The Games for Windows Live Marketplace is closing this month. Microsoft has detailed the rhyme and reason as well as what this means for PC players:

"As part of the recent Xbox 360 system update, Microsoft Points will be retired and the Xbox.com PC Marketplace will be closed as of August 22, 2013," Microsoft explains. "We encourage you to spend your Microsoft Points balance prior to this change. Although you will not be able to purchase new games, you can continue to enjoy previously purchased content by downloading it through the Games for Windows Live client software as usual."

When Xbox 360's system update happens, Microsoft Points will convert to an equivalent cash value on your Live account -- because the Marketplace is going away on PC, and there will be nothing to buy on GFWL, there will be no rollover. As Microsoft mentions, you should spend your Microsoft Points before August 22 to avoid losing those funds altogether.

To be clear, Games for Windows Live as a service will continue to operate. A series of frequently asked questions on Xbox.com details the consequences. Your existing purchased content remains yours, although the ability to buy it through the Marketplace will vanish.

This is another major change in the evolution of Microsoft Live, which will see major overhauls in the coming weeks leading up to Xbox One's launch.

It's too bad that Windows Live never turned out to be that good though.  Personally I never had a problem with it but everybody i know does not like it at all.

Phil Spencer Says Rare Is Involved With Killer Instinct

The new Killer Instinct for Xbox One is being developed primarily by the developers over at Double Helix. They’re not entirely alone, however. In a recent interview, Phil Spencer told OXM that Microsoft has people from Rare looking at it, confirming that they are involved with the project, however briefly that may be. He also touched upon a few other things such as why Killer Instinct was selected for revival and how it will compete in the marketplace.

OXM: Why bring back Killer Instinct?

Phil Spencer: There were a couple of things. We wanted to pick a game that we had the passion to build. We had the internal team with Rare creative people – there were certain people that I wanted to make sure were close to this experience to make sure it’s tried and true. People ask me about Rare and I always go back to, like, Battletoads, but there aren’t many people from those games that are still around.

We had a core of people that still understood what Killer Instinct was about. We thought some of the features of Xbox One, like asynchronous matchmaking where while I’m actually fighting it’s setting up my next game, made a great mechanic for a fighting game. I won’t say the things on Twitter had no impact on it, I wanted to bring back something and Killer Instinct just seemed like the right thing.

OXM: There are a lot of fighting games out there. Will this compete?

Phil Spencer: We are building this to be a great fighting game. This is not some hacked-off remake. We’re working with Mad Catz on control, we’ve got Rare people looking at it. We’ve got people focusing on how it’s going to play because we want to build a great fighting game built for a live ecosystem. This isn’t going to cash in on the name; it’s going to be a real frontline game that people fall in love with.




       

who's everyone's favorite character from killer instinct?
