[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5689338, member: 56189"] I actually think they have capitalised on it. I could be wrong and could be giving MS more credit than they deserve, but I think they might be taking a long term approach to this. In the years since the first one was introduced, almost every new TV series, even if it's just modern day and not sci-fi, has some version or other of the device in it. I can name three just off the top of my head: Castle, Hawaii Five-O & Human Target. I wouldn't be surprised if MS has had some hand in influencing that in order to get the concept into people's minds. The fact is that the technology simply isn't at a level where it CAN be produced for the consumer market. But they can certainly develop it and sell a few and keep on improving it and when the technology is at a level where MS can mass-market it, suddenly you'll have consumers going, "Oh, I've seen that on so-and-so show, that's awesome, I want one!"
