Gates: Xbox will eventually tie in to broader online Microsoft offerings.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: ALLISON LINN
Anyone who snagged one of Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360s at its Tuesday debut will likely see the new video game console as just that _ a medium for spending hours playing the likes of "Halo 2" and "Project Gotham Racing 3."
But executives at Microsoft see video games as just the beginning. Xbox 360 is at the center of a strategy that will also eventually tie in elements of Microsoft's new online initiative, called Windows Live, says company Chairman Bill Gates.
Gates said Monday that he expects Xbox Live, Microsoft's service that allows gamers worldwide to play one another, to eventually work with a Microsoft instant messenger that is slated to become part of Windows Live.
