Xbox Next PC – Microsoft Comments News

We chat to Microsoft and learn their opinion on today’s rumours regarding the Xbox 2…
Following on from todayâs report in which CNN suggested that the Xbox2 *could* be closer to a PC then many of us believed, allowing the use of both Xbox and PC games in addition to offering a version of Windows and many other components similar to a PC; we today received an official statement on the subject from Microsoft.
Speaking to TVG, Nick Grange UK Xbox PR Manager confirmed âThis is the kind of research that Microsoft does on an ongoing basis and we would be remiss if we did not conduct research. We research and test hundreds of ideas every year and not all of them come to market or come to market in the way the research suggests. Research only confirms the presence of forward thinking - in no way does it confirm a new product.â
In addition if weâre led to believe that the Xbox2 will be based around PowerPC architecture as commonly suggested, then the issues of porting a version of Windows to this are all but insurmountable, requiring a complete re-write of the Windows Kernel to run on the PowerPC CPU â“ something that we simply cannot see any valid reason for doing so.
So for now weâre quite happy to assume that Xbox2 wonât allow you to play PC games and type in your letters, thereâs simply too many issues over the whole concept; but as weâve always been saying, nothing is guaranteed until Microsoft make an official announcement.
Weâll have more soon.
