    This story lends a lot of credence to Digital Foundry’s prediction/conjecture that this is Microsoft pivoting “Xbox” to mean a machine that runs a new gaming-focused spin of Windows. I have my doubts that when Microsoft is talking about “preservation”, they’re talking about what Ross Scott is talking about, since Microsoft puts out tons of live service games.

    “The biggest technical leap ever” is probably impossible at this point.

    Unless they’re coming out with full-suited VR that allows us to feel and smell things in the game, I don’t think we’re going to have another leap as big as the one between the 16-bit era and the 32-bit era when we went from 2D to 3D games.
