Xbox Games on PCs?

[Jun 30, 2005, 10:10 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Xbox Games on Your PC? on IGN is based on a report in the Japanese business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) that interprets some statements by Bill Gates and Microsoft into the following theory:

However, the possibilities of licensing Xbox software for use in other entertainment hardware opens up a wide range of possibilities. For example, Microsoft could include the core Xbox software with Windows "Longhorn", the next major desktop Windows release. Giving every PC the ability to play Xbox titles immediately gives the Xbox a massive install base which segues nicely to other Microsoft gaming products.

Only game I really interested in that is out for the Xbox that I can't play on my PC is Burnout 3.. and probably the next one too. Other then that.. the next box, the 360, will blow away my PC.. 3 3.2 ghz cores backed by a state of the art ATI graphics cards.. All for under 500 bucks (400 is what I heard). Why the HELL can't they make a custom PC running at 3.2 ghz with a current gen video card for around that price ???? Stupid AMD/Intel Nvidia/Ati Console/PC Wars.. Can't we all just get along !
