To their credit, they are laying the groundwork for what could be quite revolutionary. One of the concepts that MSFT is working on is OnLive. Theoretically, imagine playing Halo against your neighbor, from your phone. He wouldn't know if you had your XBox360 fired up, or your Windows phone.

This is still in the early prototype stages, but this is where games are going to eventually wind up.

“This is still in the early prototype stages, but this is where games are going to eventually wind up.”

Sony seems to be heading this route with the rumored “Playstation Phone” .

I wonder if Nintendo is working on something similar. I recall hearing some rumors around the iPhone release that Nintendo and Apple were going to team up ... but that’s all it was ... rumors. Nintendo seems pretty happy with its current handheld game sales. The 3DS will probably sell like gangbusters too.

The BEST thing MS can do is purchase OnLive. I’ve tried it and it’s freakin amazing although a big laggy (granted I tried it over wifi and they said beforehand the bugs were not completely out of wifi).

BTW: I am getting a Windows phone as soon as my contract ends next month and I can switch carriers.
