The Inquirer has an interesting write-up examining what lies ahead for Microsoft's Xbox 360. We have all seen the specs and some pretty looking demos but really what do they have in store for the future and what will the console bring to gaming as a whole? The Inquirer's Aaron McKenna attended the recent Xbox 360 briefing in Dublin last week, where he got to exchange some words with Microsoft's 'head honcho' in Uk and Ireland, Stephen McGill.
According to McGill, it's all in the design of the Xbox 360, to entice younger gamers into the living room. Microsoft envision their next-gen console as being the centerpiece of the living room for not only games, but digital music, movies, photos and everything else they can cram into the tiny console.
First and foremost, the Xbox 360 is the centerpiece of Microsoft's design to catch younger gamers with its media centre experience, making Microsoft thecenterpiecee of the living room by controlling everything from gaming to music to films.
It wants the Xbox 360 to be able to hook up to everything from iPods to PSPs and make it thecenterpiecee of the living room as opposed to simply the games console for the kids stashed underneath or on top of the TV.
