原文:Robbie Bach, who previously oversaw the Xbox division at Microsoft, is apparently working on a new project within the company, according to the New York Post and Reuters.
Bach, whose role in the game group over the past year has resulted in far less visibility, is apparently leading the charge on a portable device, say sources cited by both news outlets. However, the device may focus on music and be the mythological "iPod killer" that has been long rumored.
"It seems like an exact head-to-head competition with Apple," one source told the Post. "It's really like an Apple approach, to control the device and the whole stack of technology. This is like Xbox versus PlayStation."
The question is will it also be like PSP versus DS? While the report goes into detail about a possible challenger to the digital music throne, currently held by Apple's iTunes, it doesn't mention gaming specifically, though many have predicted Microsoft is working on a portable gaming device.
The handheld could be the first steps, though. Microsoft has insinuated that an iTunes-like digital music service would be a perfect fit for the Xbox 360, further expanding the reach of Xbox Live Marketplace. The company has also signed deals with record labels, including Warner Bros. Music and Epic Records (incidentally, part of Sony BMG), for Xbox Live Marketplace content.
With the Xbox 360 positioned as a home entertainment hub, Microsoft could be readying a handheld that does it all--plays games, downloads music, and shows videos.
不负责的翻译:
纽约邮报和***同时报道,Robbie Bach,这位MS XBOX部门的前总监,正在秘密的主导一项全新计划的开发......
去年一年Bach似乎从大众眼中消失了,正是由于他在主导一款MS神秘便携机的开发,据称这款掌机在音乐播放方面有相当的侧重,相当有可能是那传说中的“Ipod杀手”
“我们要靠这个和苹果来一场势均力敌的大战!”“控制设备和整体技术都是在与苹果对垒,就好像是XBOX对战PlayStation那样”
那么它是否也要像PSP一样对抗DS?遗憾的是虽然我们得到一些IPod杀手的向便携音乐王者挑战的细节,关于此掌机游戏方面的细节却未被提及,当然绝大多数人预测MS定会在它上面开展游戏业务。
这款掌机只是一小步,MS影射到这部便携机将非常适合与360的联动,并进一步扩展360的市场,MS甚至已经与部分唱片商开始签署合同了,包括华纳兄弟,Epic Records(SONY BMG的一部分),作为XBOX LIVE的市场内容
360将被最为一台家庭娱乐总机,这款“IPod杀手”应会预定有游戏功能,并可下载音乐以及播放视频。. |
