Microsoft and Intel in Video Game Console Project
from the expanding-the-business dept
I'm not sure I completely understand this one. Apparently, Microsoft and Intel are working together to get into the stand alone video game console market. I hope this means they want to provide systems to the current players out there, and not create their own, new system. But, then again, you never know. Maybe this is why Microsoft brought on Rick Belluzzo.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

But can they cut it?
1) If they get into the hardware end. That will make MANY PC makers upset.....for it is a 'small' step to making PCs.
2) The console gaming market is cutthroat. And Micro$oft won't have a dominate position built on the backs of its past actions.
And, do the game writers really WANT to get into bed with Micro$oft? I'm betting Micro$oft will be a choice ot last resort.
*IF* Micro$oft does this *AND* beats the 3 other players.......May the I/O Gods have mercy on us all.
