need more games

5 years and only < 5 new games? I thought MS would've had more ideas in this field with their Xbox expertise. And is InkBall still there?
To avoid making another Windows Vista Xbox Edition, which would require you to purchase another PCs from an OEM, make the changes in the standard versions. Some improvements include:
- More games (target: at least 20) - More variety - Take advantage of WPF and WCF (hmm... maybe not WWF) - Make the games compatible (or dedicated to) with Tablet pen, touchscreen (finger), mouse, keyboard, joystick, pedel wheel, controller, etc.
And I wholeheartedly support Adahn's idea of a Game Center, but I think this should be integrated into Media Center instead. Because after all, games are still a form of... media... but just interactive.

Did you live the DOS period? There are tons of games for DOS back then.

But then in the end, it's about mood and faith. That can't be helped because it's your own choices.

So were those old-time game companies did have an agreement to create a larger conglomerate?
