    Rumour: Xbox 360 games playable in Windows 8

    Microsoft will supposedly let you play its console games in its next OS instalment

    No it would not. Lots of people buy the xbox bec it is easier to use for them than the pc.

    i would say its a 50/50 chance this is going to happen...

    Look at it this way

    People with insane pc's will be able to run 360 games with relative ease i think thus saving them the purchase of a console

    People with no money to afford an insane pc purchases the console (which is happening right now)

    So in a way its a win loss situation for ms so i DOUBT this will happen, maybe tho MAYBE the games that you can purchase of Live will be playable on Win8 and not the actual physical media games.

    call me crazy but this seems VERY plausible!

    My reasoning:

    If you can control the Console market AND PC market

    imagine that, this could very well be true!

    Yeah and an XBOX remains a cheaper gaming solution than a PC. Most people also prefer having an XBOX with their TV and a PC in a separate room.
