“Well, the PC is our superset device in terms of media integration. You’ll see a ton of that stuff you see on the PC, like the ability to listen to your tunes... we did some of this on Xbox 1, where you could move music over and have tracks – it wasn’t a required feature for the games. We did build in the music mixer-type stuff, but we’ll build a lot of that stuff into the base thing. We’re evolving the photo and music stuff that’s in Windows and Xbox will get some of that extra capability. So you’ll see more synergy between Windows and Xbox. And we think these portable media devices, whether they are music only or with video, will take off. So we’ll make sure that we connect up as much as we can,” Mr. Gates said.
