Microsoft Will Add Video Games to Zune by July 2008 | |
|

| Time: 15:21 EST/20:21 GMT | News Source: Bloomberg | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, will make video games available on its Zune music player within 18 months, said Peter Moore, a vice president in the company's interactive entertainment unit. ``I love the interface, I love the screen,'' Moore said yesterday at a dinner with reporters during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He didn't specify which games would be offered. Microsoft introduced the Zune last year to take on Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod, and expects to ship more than 1 million by June. Chairman Bill Gates, in a keynote address at CES yesterday, emphasized the company's focus on combining home entertainment devices in what he dubs the ``digital decade.'' | ||

There is a reason Craig Lile thought so highly of the Zune - it's just about the perfect client for the connected-crossover being written about all this week - after all the platform components around Vista coming to light. That crossover is happening all over the place - certainly between devices in the home, but also between people - at work, home, or on the road.
As a parent, I am happy to report that the Zune is such a sleeper - one marketplace account - three PC's and two Zunes for one fair price. Since my kids moved to it, I have not had one "Hey Dad" support incident and they ditched their Nano's and Zens - not my choice, theirs. Among the group that is 13 to 18, three of them report that the Zune is the hit item sought at school - mostly because the model is cheaper for them and it plugs into the Xbox 360. Everyone loves the screen and the auto-positioning of the images and volume control and compared to the iPod, they love the controls and dislike the iPod's srcoll wheel - they play outside a great deal and their finger tips are not dainty enough to make the iPod work real well. It's going to be neat to see this move along. |
