"Xbox isn't a gaming console," Ballmer told USA Today, "Xbox is a family entertainment center. It's a place to socialize. It's a place to watch TV. We have Hulu coming. It's the only system where you are the controller. Your voice, your gestures, your body."

Ballmer also highlighted the success of Kinect in helping Microsoft broaden the Xbox 360's appeal. "My wife used to say, 'No, no, that's the machine the boys use," and now she says, "Yeah, I want to go watch movies. Let's go play the dance game,'" he said. "It opens up accessibility to family entertainment because with the Kinect, you control these systems with your body, with your voice. We've opened up the world of content in TV, movies."

Microsoft trying to appeal to entire family is stupid. Go back to only caring about the underground gamers.

"Yeah, I want to go watch movies. Let's go play the dance game,'"

Probably the stupidest quote I have heard in awhile. She shouldn't be allowed to play if she talks like that.

Agreed.
