Where is MS Taking the 360?

The Inquirer has an article up asking the question where is Microsoft taking the 360? The author had a chance to sit down with UK Xbox head man Stephen McGill to get a sense of what they want to do. From the article: "You gotta love the PR hype and mud slinging that goes on during the run up to a really, really major competitive product launch. Sony and Microsoft are at loggerheads over their upcoming next-generation releases, and while we have all the tech specs (relatively) nailed and the hype about what will make each console Gods Gift to 14 Year Olds, what about the actual direction in which the two companies are pulling their franchises?"

    It's interesting that they will now openly admit that gaming isn't the focus of the device.

    This only becomes a problem if the non-gaming plans for the device result in the system's gaming functions being compromised, as happened with Xbox Live.
