BILL GATES TALKS XBOX 2

...just not at CES. But the night before he had some pretty interesting things to say about Microsoft's next-gen beast

15:12 Contrary to rumours that have been doing the rounds since last year, Bill Gates chose not to unveil Xbox 2 at his CES keynote speech last night (to find out what he did talk about, click here).

But it turns out the man who built Microsoft has been discussing his plans for the successor to the big green and black box. On Tuesday night Gates spoke to technology website CNET News and spilled the beans on his plans to make Xbox 2 a full, complete, one-stop entertainment centre.

"We didn't do Xbox just to do a video game; we did it to be part of our vision of the digital lifestyle," Gates told CNET News. "In the first generation, we had one simple goal, which was to establish credibility as a great video game platform. We've done that."

Gates went on to discuss how Xbox 2 would push multimedia functionality into gamers' homes, saying as well as great gaming he wants to provide "more communications, more media, more connectivity."

But gaming will benefit too. "At the same time," said Gates in the interview, "we move up to things like high-definition graphics and wireless that the chip breakthroughs allow us to get to."

Gates then talked about how important it is for Xbox 2 to bring together all your entertainment in one place: "For the games alone you'd say wow, but the concept of bringing in your music, your media, connecting to the PC, connecting Xbox Live to Messenger makes it a very big deal."

The comments echo earlier suggestions from Microsoft that the Xbox 2 will act as a media centre for your music, movies, videos and photos and be able to share information with your home PC. It's another strong indication that games consoles are set to become far more multifunctional as the next generation dawns.

So it seems that Microsoft does indeed want to rule your entire entertainment world but, at the moment at least, it's not interested in ruling the handheld world. Discussing the possibility of a handheld Xbox to rival Nintendo's DS and Sony's PSP, Gates said: "We are not in the handheld space. We watch the intense competition of Sony, Nintendo, Nokia - whoever comes along with interest."

In fact, Bill Gates sees an advantage for Xbox in the bitter battle being fought between Nintendo and Sony. "The fact that Sony's a little distracted with PSP may let us do all the better in the next generation," he said.

Det største udfordring er at overbevise dem som siger at en konsol kun skal kunne spille spil.

Xbox2 vil være en god blanding mellem en MediaCenter og en Xbox.

//til dem som allerede er igang med at overvejre en ps3 når de læser det med MediaCenter..

Tjek lige hvilke muligheder man får med en MediaCenter hehe..
Det er STORT!
Playstations, (PSX) er noget ligene det samme.. men kan kun ca. 20% af det en MediaCenter kan.

Meget =)

Jeg tror det bliver enormt fedt. Alle de muligheder.. =)


*EDIT*

Btw, hvis nogen vil se XBox delen af Bill Gates's Key note, så se her:

De viser lidt fra en Forza Demo, og forklarer lidt om det, og så fortæller de forskellige facts om Xbox..

Blandt andet siger de at de solgte mere end PS2 i 2004. Eller det gjorde de i hvert fald i Julen.

Og så siger de at der er blevet spillet 69 Millioner timers Halo2 over live!

Så et regnestykke et sted, og alt i alt, giver det omkring 7800 år!

7800 år..

Har set hele BillGates Keynote

O'Brian var da for vild sjov

Der Bill skulle vise et billedeprogram virkede fjernbetjeningen ikke så spurgte O'brian:

"Who is running this studio!?"

Så kunne man se fornærmelsen på Bills face

Meget andet virkede heller ikke og Forza crashede udover det skulle Bill spille mod O'Brian og der faldt frameraten godt nok meget

Mere gik galt, men selve Keynoten var nu meget fed Og pisse sjov grundet O'Brian

[GrillBillerDK]

tja..
en rigtig spændende fremvisning, skøn et par skønhedsfejl..

Forza blev afviklet gennem en Testopstilling.. (kan jo diskuteres om det nu også var godt... men det var jo en beta version)
Tit bliver så store fremvisninger styret fra et studie... så det kunne jo være at der var lidt kommunikations problemer mellem Scenen og Studiet.

[Buktu]

Well, det var ikke så godt..
"Out of system memory" da han skulle vise modding i Forza :p

Og O'Brian skulle vidst nok have chrashed et sted hvor det ikke var meningen. Det kunne spillet ikke finde ud af, og framraten røg så ned på en 1-2 stykker Har da ikke hørt om sådan nogle problemer i OXM Demo versionen af Forza?
