Gates: Xbox will eventually tie in to broader online Microsoft offerings


SEATTLE: Anyone snagging one of Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360s when it debuts Tuesday will likely see the new video game console as just that - a medium for spending hours playing the likes of "Halo 2'' and "Project Gotham Racing 3.'' 

But executives at Microsoft see video games as just the beginning. Xbox 360 is at the center of a strategy that will also eventually tie in elements of Microsoft's new online initiative, called Windows Live, says company Chairman Bill Gates.
