but if you can buy and play any game on your PC that you can on your Xbox (720?), then there'd be no point in owning an Xbox.

Maybe they r plannin to increase the sales of the x-box 360 games as sum1 mentioned in the above forums...?

What's the point?
We have like Steam and Origin. The only reason they would do this was for first party PC titles.

That'd seem pretty stupid for them to kill off their entire Xbox franchise and increase the games.. It's selling so well.

I remember reading that they're creating one "ecosystem" for Xbox, PC, & Smartphones.. I wonder what they have up their sleeves to make this happen efficiently, i.e. without killing off any of the brands. They want you to own as many "Microsoft" products as possible.

Anyways we'll find out once Windows 8 is released...

Basically this'll be an enhanced version of G4WL, with avatars, achievements, Cloud saves, etc., but the biggest feature will be cross-platform multiplayer between Xbox devices (I'm assuming that they're going to something about KB+M advantage though).
Also, DirectX 12.

EDIT: The cross-platform multiplayer will most likely be in games that don't have a KB+M or a controller advantage (such as turnbased games).

DirectX 12 sounds interesting...!
