In my opinion if Microsoft adds video and photo editing features, it will totally ruin this system. They need to keep it a game console, if they don't then there is a good chance that developers will look else where. What do you guys think?

They need to focus on Games + Performance. Forget that other crap they mentioned. That is what a computer is for!

yeah but they still own the Ultamite TV Tivo wannabe right? So wouldn't the Xbox 2 be cutting into their own market? I am curious to see what Microsoft is planning on doing. I don't think that Microsoft fully understands the history of game development. It is an art and if you try to change the market which has been so familiar, they will move on to a different console.

We can be assured that it will be over priced and include a lot of security updates. haha :D :)


I don't feel sorry for them if they loose money on the system. It is the same pricing scheme that HP uses to sell printers.
