An internal presentation video was released earlier this week that was made by their WGX team (Windows Gaming Experience) team that will be handling the gaming divisions across all Microsoft platforms. they released a presentation on Youtube which showed us what Microsoft has in the works for the future of PC gaming not in PC games like Crysis or Dragon Age that we would know but from the looks of it they are looking at the more "casual" games that people play like for example Facebook games. It appears micro-transactions are going to be one of their main focuses as Microsoft is trying to get a piece of the pie when it comes to the casual gaming experience what with over 250 million people on Facebook and 1/3 of them are playing these casual games it is understandable that they want to get in on this... But where will this lead too in terms of the true gamers out there? My guess is they will continue with what they are doing and this will simply be an investment into something instead of a complete turn around, only time will tell though.
