"The U.S. software company is considering offering "the basic software" for Xbox, although no decision has been made, Microsoft Japan spokesman Kazushi Okabe said Thursday, confirming the Gates' comments reported in Thursday's editions of Japan's top business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
Gates hasn't offered specifics about the kind of software or which companies would be involved. He also hasn't said whether the arrangement will involve manufacturers making products other than game machines, such as digital consumer electronics gadgets that combine PC functions with home appliances."

Wasn't this already tried back in the early 90s with the 3DO gaming system??

Either way, I don't honestly see what the benefit the consumer would see - MS might get some $ from liscensing, but beyond that, not super interesting... atleast not yet.
