Xbox Live on Windows 8: True Cross Platform Gaming
The app utilizes the Metro UI found on Windows Phone devices and features pretty much what you'd expect: friends lists, leaderboards, fauxhawk-sportin' avatars, etc. Music and Video tabs were spotted but not demoed, and while real-time cross-platform multiplayer is still anyone's guess, Microsoft did laud the architecture's asynchronous multiplayer "between two Windows PCs, between Windows and a phone or between Windows and the Xbox 360." Pretty slick stuff for those out there who've had to suffer the slings and arrows of Games for Windows Live.

The problem is Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot, given the choice between Keyboard/Mouse and controller majority will opt for the Keyboard/Mouse which has a huge advantage making any games unbalanced if that is going to be the case.

Yeah I see how intelligent your post is...
Back to the topic if the console players would play against PC gamers it wouldn't be that much fun because if you play with a mouse you can react much better and faster then someone who plays with a controller.

Well I don't see this working well cross platform
Like take cod series games for example the guys on the pc will have a advantage with the guys on the console
Because with the controls of the mouse VS the joystick etc
The mouse wins :)
