GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kriven]

The only reason I want the X-Box to go away is because it doesn't make very much sense, considering it's a Microsoft machine. Why not just take gaming into consideration when developing the next iteration of Windows?

I don't have anything against the games the console has, a lot of them look really great, but the X-Box (and the PlayStation 4) don't seem to be offering a great variety of things that can't be offered on a PC. Microsoft and Sony need some kind of gimmick, like the Gamepad or intuitive motion controls. Although honestly, I think that could all be done with bluetooth and USB stuff.

I'm disenchanted with home consoles, I guess. They have exactly two benefits over moving to the PC entirely: longevity and exclusives, and the former isn't really a huge guarantee.

Editing since I rambled: My main point was that it's a little weird for Microsoft to have a console when they could incorporate all of it into their larger business architecture and probably expand their potential audience.
