IP-TV: The 360 will be peoples only box under the TV

Peter Moore, who leads the Xbox business at Microsoft has a lot to talk about these days. First and foremost was the announcement Sunday night by Bill Gates that the Xbox 360 platform will be able to serve as an IP Television set-top box through a software upgrade.

Sfgate.com sat down with Moore at CES and asked him about this and other Xbox 360 topics. He said the IPTV announcement for the Xbox 360 further differentiates it against its competitors and could drive sales through telcos who partner with Microsoft. It could end up being the only box underneath the TV for a lot of families, he said.
