Original Xbox programming coming 2014, 'different animal' from Netflix

Microsoft's Nancy Tellem, president of entertainment and digital media - and no relation to Soulja Boy Tell'em, in case you were wondering - hopes to launch the first Xbox original programming early next year, according to Variety. "We're hoping we will be able to put something up in the first quarter, at minimum second quarter," she said at the Variety Dealmakers Breakfast.

The process has been slow; Unfortunately, the Nancy Tellem vision for the future of content consumption has been met with hesitation and confusion from Hollywood. "We aren't Netflix, we aren't Amazon," Tellem said. "We're a different animal."

Woof This is what MS is all about. Their mission is to spot a trend, put a product in place to compete with trend, profit. The Xbox (PS2), Surface (iPad), Zune (iPod), Xbox Music (Spotify)...it's all just copy and paste. Now they're trying to take a slice of that Netflix pie.

Oh, you want a plastic covering for your iPhone? $100 please.

Oh, you want the next iPhone with upgraded 4G? $400 please.

Your first two sentences just described what business is about. If you were in charge of a large compony, you'd want in in the hot stuff.

Halo4
Modish From netflix though? really?


I'm pretty sure they said that they aren't Netflix, so.. Nope. I don't know, the title is a bit confusing.
