Could Microsoft start selling Xbox 360 consoles as if they’re mobile phones? That’s what The Verge is suggesting. It claims that Microsoft is about to unveil a new scheme where people will be able to pay $99 to get an Xbox 360 plus Kinect motion controller – but only if they sign up to a $15 monthly subscription for two years. That’s pretty much the deal you strike when buying a swanky smartphone, and it could be very disruptive in the console hardware market, which is starting to wind up for its next generation of hardware in one or two years’ time.
