Microsoft striving for simultaneous Vista, 360 releases
Posted by XanTium | January 24 14:38 EST
 
From gamesindustry.biz:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft is hoping to see more titles released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and Vista platforms, according to Rick Wickham, director for the Windows Gaming business.

Wickham indicated that a number of PC and Xbox 360 titles will launch at the same time this year, although he added that it was essentially a decision left to individual third-party publishers.
The initiative is just one of many designed to marry the two platforms, along with games that are playable across both formats and the adoption of Xbox Live features into PC gaming.

So now if the game sucks balls on the 360, you can see if its better on the PC or vice versa.

Finally the keyboard mouse vs controller accuracy can be tested. This will be fun to see.

I really think it is a bad idea for M$ to put the same games on both pc and 360. Hell then why would someone buy a 360? I think M$ will lose customers with that plan. Bad idea to me.

Are you kidding me? A computer with the associated hardware to run games comparable graphics wise to the 360 would literally cost 5 times more than the console... and then you have to pay for software on top of that. XBOX Live Anywhere will not steal any business away from the 360, just simply bring more users under the Live umbrella.

As of now, very few games are going to be available on both platforms. MS wont lose potential 360 buyers because people who want a 360 will most likely want it for games other than those available for pc.

MS makes money regardless because if Im not mistaken, they are the publishers for the games that will be on both beerchug.gif

They make a Hell of a lot more money(profit) by selling a copy of vista and a game they published, compared to selling a 360 and that same game. They got rich from selling software/windows, not consoles.

I really think the platforms should remain separate. I think trying to merge them will only cause problems on both ends.
