If you can't beat them then copy or join them. That is what I can take away from Microsoft's major feature that they announced at their E3 press conference. What is SmartGlass? Well just imagine all the second screen functionality coming from the Wii U except instead of a controller its your iPhone, your iPad, your Android Phone, Your Kindle fire. Get the picture? That's right instead of you having to go buy a new console or some expensive accessory Microsoft has done a very smart thing by taking advantage of this phone App phenomenon that is going on right now. They will make any smartphone or tablet your secondary screen for your xbox to add functionality to your games or to continue watching a movie from your xbox.
The above picture is a snapshot of what exactly could be viewed from your secondary screen while playing any game on your xbox 360.
Is Microsoft beating Nintendo at it's own game? If so they found a cheap and effective way to do it. Hopefully this coming week we get a lot more details of the exact functionality we can except to see out of SmartGlass.
One other thing we can take away from this is that truly Microsoft it gunning for the xbox 360 to become your HUB for all entertainment experiences.
