This was all great but theres something i need to say, u say u wanna change the gaming industry but u haven't picked any good games. Shooters are by far the best games and make Microsoft gaming the most money. You need to try and play competitively on Halo or any COD game. I wont lie i am 16 years old and when i get home from school i start up my Xbox because it naturally comes to me. You shouldn't ever try to mess up what Microsoft has got going on there making billions.Anonymous
