Yusuf Mehdi, senior vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, just sat down alongside Nancy Tellem, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft LA Studios, to kick off this year's rendition of D:Dive Into Media here in Dana Point, Calif. The first session of the evening is being piloted by AllThingsD's Peter Kafka, and naturally, the topic of conversation is Xbox. For starters, Mehdi affirmed that Microsoft is witnessing an unmistakable transition of the Xbox 360 "from a gaming console to an entertainment console." At present, the install base is up to 76 million (up from around 70 million at the close of September 2012), with US-based users using the console for some 87 hours per month.

In fact, he stated that 18 billion (yeah, with a "B") hours of entertainment have been consumed on Xbox, and while Netflix is obviously the driving force, it might not be that way for much longer. He was quick to claim that Sony's PlayStation 3 "isn't as good of an entertainment console" -- something he feels that "everybody knows" -- and insinuated that the next-generation Xbox will stick to "big and premium." In other words, don't expect Microsoft to kick out a $50 Roku-style content box. Mehdi wants to ensure that the future of Xbox enables voice control, interactivity, and "other stuff that's big and beautiful."

Kicking the conversation over to Tellem, she affirmed that Microsoft is going to invest in premium content -- and in fact, said that she "hopes" for some of it to actually hit end users this year. Not surprisingly, folks are going to be asked to pay for it, but she wasn't willing to talk specifics. Of course, existing Xbox Live users are technically already paying, so it's possible that this new wave of content will be bundled into that monthly cost. When asked if Microsoft was planning to fund its own shows (much like Amazon and Netflix are doing), she seemed open to the idea, but also noted that Microsoft will absolutely partner with existing studios and content creators in order to give them yet another outlet (read: not pay-TV) to get people hooked.

Finally, she noted that there's "more latitude" in what kinds of material they can produce given that console distribution isn't as regulated as traditional broadcast. And, while a good deal of it will aim to satisfy the 18-24 male demographic, we're told that womenfolk and families will be looked after, too. Oh, and as for these Microsoft-funded shows hitting other distribution outlets? According to Tellem, that's unlikely -- at least at first -- but a sizable enough check from the likes of Hulu, Amazon, Sony, etc. could very well change that. In response to a question from TechCrunch's Ryan Lawler, Tellem noted that Microsoft's desire to churn out original, interactive entertainment is a way to both "move consoles, create new relationships with consumers and to expand [Microsoft's] audience," and from a higher level, to create the next generation of TV and "have it be a hit."

One of the points I was gonna touch on, but thank you very much sir.
They will have there own shows just like "House of Cards" but exclusively on xbox. Created by Hollywood studio's and Xbox Team.

Siri integration into the system is also another feature. But they say its more advanced than siri. So basically talking to your xbox will be like talking to a robot from the future. It'll understand all your questions.
It'll do things like "Xbox, play Wu-tang Clan" and that shyt will start up instantly.
They want it so you can pull up things as fast if not faster than you could on a cell phone... everything. But you don't really realize how amazing this all is until you see it for yourself. Just imagine having it right now
You get home, you with a lady friend and you say "Xbox, H-Town"
Illumiroom starts up, fukking hearts and shyt is swirling around your living room
Your bytch is already sittin on the couch like
She hearing secret slutty messages you somehow is sending her via directional audio as you pop out of nowhere with two drinks in your hands as you hand her one
Then the augmented glasses won't be needed, cuz thats some real p*ssy right there


Or, you can get a ps4, save your game then upload it to youtube

Turn it off
Only a fool (or fanboy) is gonna tell you "Look, the xbox stays on, and the camera watches you 24/7 and you can't turn it off or the system will explode"

Thats what idiots want you to think so you can make up your mind in February that the next xbox is watching you
Nobody anywhere has said anything close to that. Only "words" being tossed around is "always on connection" but nobody has explained what that means.
So ppl try to come to conclusions, but most ppl shouldn't try that. It takes intelligence to figure shyt out.
Developers have said the system wont allow used games, while other developers have said opposite.
So what this means is speculation. I already broke down the two scenarios which explains the "always on", you might have missed that?

This forums is really turning to shyt. this thread has been nothing but insults left and right. Say what you like about courtdog but his predictions in the past have been fairly accurate up to this point. The endless mattress references and insults are old and tired and need to fukking stop. Normally this would be a function of the mods, but its clear they dont give a damn about the poor quality of this forum.

Its like a civil discussion on xbox or gaming cant even take place in this shyt forum anymore. nikkas need to brush their teeth at least before spitting so much hatred and venom in the morning.

You know how many he told back on the You can't be serious.

Don't tell me you copped one of those n'used mattresses too. shyt done fukked your head up! :lookherebruh:
