You&#8217;ll continue to see us bring amazing new experiences to the console, without you having to buy a brand new console. A couple of years ago we didn&#8217;t have movies, Sky, Facebook and Twitter &#8211; now we&#8217;ve got things like Kinect,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;We&#8217;ll continue to evolve those gaming and entertainment experiences through the power of software updates, rather than new chipsets and plastic.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Reminded that his colleague Aaron Greenberg had previously predicted a new Xbox in about five years, McGill adds that, &ldquo;I&#8217;m not sure what the timeframe is. There&#8217;s a long long way to go with the experiences people deliver on this platform &#8211; we&#8217;re just beginning to scratch the surface.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s to someone doing something interesting with Kinect then.
