Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console already has a huge install base, a wide variety of content and engaged users. And now, according to an article in the New York Times, Microsoft is in talks with Disney to bring some live video content from ESPN to the gaming platform. So what's to stop it from becoming a virtual cable operator?
Microsoft has already shown that it can deliver a live and on-demand offering, as seen through its deal to bring programming from UK satellite operator Sky onto the Xbox. The Sky Player on Xbox 360 offers the same electronic program guide and live content that's available through a Sky set-top box. And Microsoft has been working with AT&T to enable its U-verse subscribers to use their Xbox gaming consoles as a set-top box.
So it's possible that Microsoft could launch a live, multichannel video service on the Xbox platform. But is it likely?

To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
no it can't and never will considering i don't have a cable box lol
i also don't really believe the xbox could ever really replace whatever means of cable/satellite someone might have
I can't have my cable box being shipped for repairs every 3 months. In most houses the tv is on all day and we all know an Xbox can't be used more than a few hours a day without problems.
