Title: something I noticed about the new Xbox stuff
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on June 14, 2010, 06:13:09 PM

With the new dashboard etc., they seem to be no longer maintaining separate Xbox branding so much, but are instead changing it more closely match the rest of the Microsoft branding.  They used to use a different typeface for the Xbox dashboard but now they're using the same pseudo-Frutiger they use everywhere else, the icons and stuff resemble Windows Phone 7, etc.

Japan: not exactly a hotbed of support for Windows phones. Zune isn't even sold here.
