Microsoft has done very well for themselves with their Xbox 360 video game console, now that they have their own Natal motion control system in the works to compete with the Nintendo Wii what will they do next? Well rumor is some sort of Xbox mobile or portable device may be in the works says Microsoft corporate vice president Shane Kim who talked about it in a recent interview. Kim has a major part in the Xbox program at Microsoft, and he of all people would know what is going on behind the scenes at Microsoft so we have to give what he has to say some credit. He went on to say that Microsoft was focused on the living room experience that they want to get into mobile gaming next. With the huge success of the iPod/iPhone from Apple and the Nintendo DSi and the Sony PSP, it is no wonder that Microsoft wants a part of the action.
“For us, it’s a matter of focusing on ‘when’, because if we chased after a mobile or handheld opportunity, we would not have the resources and ability to do things like… Project Natal. So we’ve chosen to focus on the living room experience from a hardware standpoint, if you will, but we’re building a service in Live that will… will extend to other platforms. No question about it.”
