The Xbox has always been aimed at the heavy user: it was the first console to feature a hard drive and the first to make a decent fist of online play (sorry, Dreamcast.) Its most successful first-party franchises are geared towards the hardcore gamer, and after years of failed attempts to draw in the family gamer (sorry, *Viva Piñata) the console is finally growing its audience thanks to Kinect.

videogames, music and all my other thoughts.
