Re: xbox 720 to be a tablet?

Terrible article. All it had was a quote from Marc Rein from E-pic who suggested that their next console should be a tablet. No where does it say that MS was considering one.

Then I credit him with one of the dumbest ideas I've heard all year.

Re: xbox 720 to be a tablet?

I don't understand the Tablet craze. I like the idea for some settings, but I definitely don't want them for consoles. From when I've used them, I don't even like surfing the internet on them, though they would be advantageous if you just wanted to sit back and relax on your couch while surfing the internet, I guess.

Anyways, that article sucked. It was basically one quote.

Re: xbox 720 to be a tablet?

I doubt it'll be a tablet, but it will be interesting to see what MS does with the xbox platform and Live. The traditional model for subsidizing an expensive console was busted this gen. They've spent billions on the xbox platform and the 360 is going to fall to 3rd worldwide at some point this gen anyways. If Kinect is a dud, then who knows where they go next.

I think it would be more like the worst of both worlds, but to each his own.

Re: xbox 720 to be a tablet?

If they want me to buy a Playstation4 and stop spending money on XBOX Live, then they will make the XBOX 720 a tablet.

If there's any truth to this, I'd surmise that it's to produce a direct competitor to the iPad. (which I have no idea how that's doing, anyhow).
