Microsoft will be patenting a new invention that features a �data sharing system� and more. Found in a press statement from Microsoft, they have a yet to release another statement about their patent. As recently reported, they have patented the Xbox 2 module to build the success and protect the breakthrough console. The content of video games can be quite vast. Some video game programs require the player to traverse a maze, while others require the player to find hidden objects to, for example, fight against evil or help save a princess. Once the player reaches the end of the game or feels he or she has sufficiently completed the game, the player often loses interest in the game. In response, manufacturers often create multiple versions of a popular game offering, for example, new quests for the character of that game. However, even though the general essence of the game is retained in subsequent versions, the original game remains essentially useless to the player. Furthermore, each of the subsequent games in the sequence is separate and distinct, providing no interaction between the games but rather only a common theme.
