Last week, when Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs got together at conference All Things D, Gates further hinted at what direction Microsoft was going, game-wise. And that direction is? Gates explains:

Software is doing vision and so, you know, imagine a game machine where you're just going to pick up the bat and swing it or the tennis racket and swing it.

Um, kinda like the Wii?

No, that's not it. You can't pick up your tennis racket. And swing it.

Picking up my actual tennis racket and swinging it? We have a name for that Bill, and it's called "tennis." Brian Ashcraft
