Silverlight headed to Xbox 360 next week?DVDBack23 @ Apr 06, 2011 03:10 | 2 comments
The software giant will announce the plans at next week's MIX11 conference, and the sources claim the technology has been in the works for months.
Last November, Microsoft confirmed it was planning on bringing the tech to the console, but a Silverlight 5 preview day in December notably held back all details of the Xbox integrations.
If accurate, the company is also expected to open its own app Marketplace that will let Windows Phone 7 developers port their apps to the big screen.
Altogether, Silverlight will tie together the Xbox 360, Windows Phone 7 and the upcoming Windows 8 through a new "Jupiter" application model using AppX packages. Windows 8 will come with the app store pre-installed. |
