We're still forced having to buy consoles with Windows 10 to enjoy XBL, even though most PCs run the same OS.

If Sony had an OS they would do the same. Then block you from looking at what they don't want you to look at.

Wow. Looks like the Xbox Live to Nintendo Switch rumors are pretty solid after this news.

This could very well change pending this E3.

Sounds like they're transitioning from hardware to software considering that they partnered with Nintendo recently.

Xbox Live counts as a social network? I guess if you're speaking literally...

It's interesting to see them expanding the service to other platforms. I always think Games for Windows Live when something like this is talked about, but it could have potential if it brings the full feature set.

The Xbox hub is like a social network feed where people share and discuss their screenshots, captures and achievements. You can even see posts regarding specific games(I found some guys who instantly buy and play all Kemco games) and there are also communities centred around certain games or for people from a specific part of the World . It seriously needs a mobile app.
