I believe J Allard said there would be about a billion XBL "users", note he didn't say "subscribers". Which in a way is entirely possiable. Lets say the 360 sells about 10 million units world wide after the first year and on each unit there is about 10 XBL gamer tags. There's your billion users( sorry if my math is wrong i've been putting in long hours at work and now my mind is musshhhh

). But in a way that's a very misleading statement because now XBL will be free 1-2 weekends a month. So people can just create a gamertag and log in and have fun.

On the same token how can Sony claim they have an install base of 90million PS2.... out of the many (15+) people I know with PS2 all but 1 is on their second and some their third PS2 because they broke.... what about people who "upgraded" to xbox and got rid of their PS2, I know many of those people ase well. Further still XS has over 200,000 "members" how many of those have never even posted or are duplicate accounts, banned accounts etc. McDonald's has "billions and billions served" How many were repeat customers?

A billion is a lot. If the 360 had a built in phone jack, yeah it's slow but not everybody has a highspeed connection, then reaching this number could be possaible. But only having a lan card does limit there potential custmomer pool.

"A super-computer that can run multiple operating systems, including the latest Windows. You can't even do that on the current Xbox nor the so called next-gen 360!?!"

i've heard you can and will be able to run WINDOWS MCE 2005 on the 360... maybe somebody already mentioned it...

you can already run windows on the regular xbox by just running a linux OS and then run XP under vmware.. not exactly optimal but it works right?

you're probably right about the 1 billion people rather than 1 billion units... I'll have to go back and watch that part of the conference again...

Kutaragi confirms PS3 HDD will be add-on, and will run Linux
Related entries: Gaming, Home Entertainment

So we heard grumblings of this last week, and now weve got it straight from the Kutaragis mouth, plus a few other interesting details. The PlayStation 3 wont be coming with an internal hard drive, because no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it wont be enough. Glossing over for the moment the curious logic of imagining zero capacity is somehow better than not enough, we move on to the news that there will likely be at least several add-on HDD options available, both locally in a 2.5-inch drive bay and in the form of some sort of network drive. Furthermore, the (optional/add-on yet curiously mandatory) hard drive will run some sort of operating system, which will likely be Linux by default but Kutaragi envisions other operating systems running on top of the Cell kernel as applications: other PC operating systems can run too, such as Windows and Tiger, if the publishers want to do so. Remember back when the PS3 moved out of the class of game consoles and into the class of entertainment machines? Well, now its a full-blown supercomputer. A supercomputer running multiple OSes on an optional hard drive? Commence head scratching

Found on engadget..... but again its Ken....

So it turns out now the 360 does not need a hdd or mem cards to run it's games. So this means the 360 devs have to develop their games to not only run on a hdd but without one aswell.

Which validates my earlier post when I said the PS3 devs only have to add a line of code to search for a hdd.

But devs are still gonna ignore the ps3 hdd since its not guaranteed to be on every console. So its not gonna be supported much

Releasing Linux on a separate hard drive is just a attempt by Sony to steal modders/hackers from Xbox, besides do we really know if this is really true? I mean Kenny has been throwing a lot of shit lately.
