Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has spoken of how well Microsoft’s Xbox business has been doing, and has hinted at a broader future for the 360.Speaking during a media conference in New York (as covered by MediaMemo.com), Ballmer said that the Xbox business was doing “great”, describing it as both an “incredible asset” and “opportunity”.
According to the transcription, Ballmer spoke of how the Xbox business had “turned the corner”, and that with a big base of subscribers and the upfront costs paid, Microsoft had a real opportunity to turn the 360 into “more than a console”.
Ballmer didn’t specify how exactly this would be achieved, but suggested that gamers would “see that 12 months from now.”
In recent times, Microsoft has spoken of wanting to unify ‘the three screens’ of mobile, television and PC. It could be in reference to that – or it could be something else entirely.
Whatever it is, it seems like Microsoft won’t be talking about it until it’s good and ready. Our guess is that we may hear something at E3, although as soon as anything happens, we’ll let you know.
