avatarPropping up the console

It seems to me to be a no-brainer that Microsoft believes they need to spoon-feed the console market while shutting the PC gaming market in the basement with yesterday's leftovers. Xbox is still a money-loser for MS despite huge expenditures trying to capture market share. The only way they're going to improve that situation is to increase sales of the xbox and of xbox games. The more xbox-exclusive titles they have the more likely they are to attract gamers. Thus, the more gamers there will be to buy third-party games. Isn't this the real cash cow of console gaming, licensing fees paid by third-party game developers? And what does MS get from Windows game developers? Nada.

O.K. ... so maybe that's a bit over the top. But it seems like a plausible line of thought on their part. Not that I agree with such a strategy.

avatarWhen's the Podcast going into Zune Marketplace????

Hi guys,

Love the podcast, and have been patiently waiting for you to keep your promise that the podcasts were going to be in the Zune marketplace--soon.....  But that was about 3-4 months ago?

What's the holdup?  Did MS reject you because there was too much cursing?  Or was there so much awesome PC knowledge in your podcast, that it would make the PCMAG podcast guys sound like noobs? (true).

Oh, I know the real reason it's not in the (Microsoft) Zune Marketplace.  It's because you guys really do love Steve Jobs, as I've gathered from hearing all the drooling over the iPhone, and now you crowning the Apple laptop as the best laptop :-)
