\"Family_watching_tv\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Microsoft announced<\/a> that it has sold its Mediaroom IPTV platform to Ericsson allowing Microsoft to refocus its consumer TV strategy on Xbox.<\/p>\n

With the sale of Mediaroom, Microsoft is dedicating all TV resources to Xbox in a continued mission to make it the premium entertainment service that delivers all the games and entertainment consumers want – whether on a console, phone, PC or tablet. And with 76 million Xbox 360 consoles around the world with 46 million Xbox LIVE members, it is a mission that gets us out of bed in the morning.<\/p>\n

It is not a mission that we can achieve alone. We want to partner with the industry to deliver the next wave of innovation in games and consumer entertainment. We will partner with content creators, studios, labels, networks, content aggregators, operators and distributors to make this happen. We believe the future of home entertainment is one where TV becomes more simple, tailored and intelligent. We believe the best is yet to come for this industry.<\/p>\n

Our vision and energy for the future of entertainment is more focused than ever. Stay tuned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"\nMicrosoft sells Mediaroom and refocuses TV efforts on Xbox -
