A look at the games that are coming soon to a Windows Phone near you.
“Last year with Kinect, you could say, ‘Xbox, play’ to start a movie or music, but we thought we’d take the power of voice to the next level,” O’Donnell says. “With voice search, you can say ‘Xbox, Bing, Harry Potter,’ and your Xbox will find all the Harry Potter content available to you on Xbox LIVE, whether it’s a game, a movie, or a soundtrack.”
Voice search with Bing on Xbox will become available this holiday season, as part of the Xbox LIVE update.
“Between Netflix, Hulu, ESPN, Zune, and more, we offer a lot of content and that trend is not ending,” O’Donnell says. “You could use your controller to find things, or use your hand, but what’s easier than you saying it and Xbox finding it? It’s making technology relevant and useful, and it’s awesome to be able to use technology that our wonderful decision engine Bing has already developed.”
Taking all of the offerings and franchises from Xbox's first decade, add to that the success of controller-free Kinect and a burgeoning entertainment portfolio, and Xbox360is evolving into an all-in-one hub for the living room, O’Donnell says.
She adds that success didn’t come overnight for the Xbox in its first decade, and she would know – she’s been there for nine of those years. “But the transformation, from where I sit, has been amazing. It’s been hard, and it’s been methodical, and we have gone from, ‘number who?’ to ‘No. 2,’” she says.
Then, this year the Xbox360became the No. 1 selling gaming console in North America.
“Next year will be even bigger; our goal is to become the leading console in the world,” O’Donnell says. “It’s a seminal moment.”
