He was speaking at a conference a day after the software giant announced the debut of a video download service for its Xbox Live online service that will make some television shows and movies available in high definition video by November 22. "The real growth here is getting to that moderate gamer. We need to bring them to the box," Peter Moore, vice president of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division which oversees Xbox, told investors at the BMO Capital Markets conference in New York. Moore was referring to users who occasionally play video games online but have yet to spend at least $400 to buy the Xbox for their homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
