Microsoft: Xbox Music Reports Are Inaccurate
by July 12, 2011 @ 1:12 pm
Microsoft has reached out with a clarification to our earlier article on Xbox Music, stating the company has no plans to launch an all-new digital music storefront this fall.
The company merely demonstrated how the recently announced Bing search functionality will integrate with Kinect voice chat to browse content across the web. This will tie in with the existing Zune offering on 360.
Catch the full statement below.
“Reports that Microsoft is launching a new music service on Xbox this fall are inaccurate. A recent demonstration of upcoming Xbox features showcased what we will deliver later this fall on Xbox, including voice search with Bing on Xbox to locate and access entertainment content on the console. This includes Zune music which has a catalog of more than 11 million tracks. “
