You quoted apps. Then you made the logical leap to games. This is my point, you seem to assume whatever you need to make your guesses make sense. Apps on the console are a whole different beast, they are even in an entirely different operating system. Apps != games. I'm ignoring the PS4 vs xbone fan boy debate. Plenty of people on Neogaf ready for you if you feel you need to discuss that. Your last point seems to be Microsoft is making it easier to develop cross platform games. Again, not in the article, but even if it's true most games are already cross platform, all this will do is save studios that do go that route some time. So the "this is the death knell of the console" really is "you can do more things with the console you already purchased." Less alarmist, but hey, facts can be boring like that.
