XBLVM


The Live Video Marketplace has been around for almost two months now, and it's reaping rewards far beyond some of us might have expected. With Game Industry's recent report of XBLVM doing better than Amazon's Unbox downloading service, forecasts are flying left and right of how high Microsoft can reach with Xbox Live.

A recent analysis from Emerging Media Dynamics has reported that Microsoft could actually make US$ 92.25-million in this year alone. Stretching this forecast even further, they say that by 2011, their revenue could sky rocket to US$ 726-million.

Forecasts are forecasts, and only time can tell if it's proven to be true. So far though, it's possible. What with the recent developments with incorporating an IPTV feature, we're bound to see lots of action for the next couple of years.

Wow Could go to 726 million

This is a good example of how the power of the console is not the most important factor on next gen consoles and also why M$ were right in going the HD-DVD route and getting their console out first so their ideas were up and running before any rivals copy them. XBLVM is quality as is the service you get when playing on XBOXL and as the saying goes YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR .even though it's only a small charge at that.
