Moore On Xbox Plans at MI6 Posted by XanTium | May 14 13:12 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gamasutra.com: [QUOTE] At the MI6 conference, Microsoft's Peter Moore, Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot and EA's Bing Gordon sparred on a heavyweight closing panel, and Gamasutra has highlights from the Michael Pachter-moderated showdown. The panel, 'Gaming 2010', was billed as "A blue ribbon panel of experts project where the gaming future is headed in the next 3-5 years" Moore On Xbox Plans Peter Moore: When we at Microsoft think about how we will be doing business three or four years from now, we think about the three C's: Connected, Community, and Content. And content is not just games. When we built the original Xbox, broadband wasn't as ubiquitous as it is today, but the courageous move to require a broadband connection for the original Xbox laid the platform for where we stand today. More than six million people today connect through Xbox Live... The second thing is about community, about the role of user-created content, and this concept of personalization of the entertainment experience... The third of the three C's is content. Michael points out that content is going to be the real thing that determines winners and losers. It's not just content from the point of view of games, though they are going to be incredibly important. There's high-definition movies, and TV shows. The thing we need to do as an industry is to play an important part of the visual entertainment lifestyle of our consumers. Those are the three things we will be talking about in the future. None of that would have been relevant to the conversation five years ago. [/QUOTE] Full Story: gamasutra.com

I like how they plan ahead apart from the fact most peoples 360's wont even last that long.

The 360 elite champions edition turbo will have the heat issues figured out

With the marketplace developed and in production all of these services will be available on the 3rd Xbox or set top box.. or translate to windows vista for that matter.

Now where is that web browser!

most of what he said was common sense, i am sure that there are more detailed and creative "out of the box" plans than just those 3 C's.

XBL, XBLA, and the marketplace are extremely strong aspects of the current situation as there is nothing that can come even close to competing with the online gameplay, the arcade games, and the wealth of multimedia available on the marketplace - MS is in a very very good position...

Gaming takes a backseat to spam and tech-heavy features.

Console gaming as a simple plug and play idea is being erroded. Its becoming more and more complex to the point where there isn't much seperating it from PC gaming. I think it will either crash or someone like Nintendo will actually become the peoples champ and produce a technically very capable console with simplicity at its heart. Meanwhile MS and Sony will continue to hunt the tech-savy people who don't mind being bogged down in 'choices'.

Console = Games machine. If that concept doesn't come first, then precisely what is a console other than a locked-down PC?

It doubles as a space heater.

"There's high-definition movies, and TV shows." ...only if you live in North America.

If you live in Australia you have access to a few movie trailers and tips n tricks videos. There are no TV shows, no movies, no point. They should really take the Marketplace blade off the Australian 360 dashboards, it's a waste of screen space and it just teases you with what US customers take for granted.

Talk about being treated like a redheaded stepchild.
