SubscribeGaming Consoles getting into TV
Posted in IPTV, News on January 28th, 2007. By Eduard F. Vinyamata.
The so called 2nd generation of video game consoles were designed to become your DVD players: Playstation 2 and the Xbox could both play comercial DVD’s and could be bought with an optional remote control.
3rd generation video game consoles, at least the Wii and the Xbox 360, have been designed, we believe, to become your PVR, and your cable or satellite Set-top Box. Take for example the Wii’s flash compatible web browser (that will let you watch contents from YouTube or Google Video) or their recent partnership with AP to offer a 24 hours News channel. The other great example is Microsoft’s XBox 360 IPTV offer, to become a reality this year, and recently explained by Microsoft execs at Gamedrift. (Digg)
As long as net neutrality prevails and bottlenecks are avoided, IPTV might very well be the future of TV distribution and democratization.
