During the glory days of Xbox 360, I went out and got a Nokia 520 with the new Windows Phone o/s. Being an apple user, it was a tall order to impress.
And impress it did, won’t go into the long list of forward thinking UI elements, the Microsoft eco system was core to the experience. My 360 avatar was right there on the front dashboard. I could dip into Xbox live and see who’s playing, my achievement's. The integration day one was already impressive.
But of course we know the sad history, an amazing phone and o/s that came too late and the app market rejected it in favour of the established App Store and Google play, causing its eventual demise.
What would mobile/remote gaming look like if the Windows Phone was alive and well today, with a gaming focused hungry behemoth at the helm……
Edit: great video on what happened…..
