TNW Quick Hit:
The Kinect giveth, and the Kinect continue to giveth. That is the moral of the story of the Xbox 360, a console that has found new life ever since the Kinect exploded onto the world stage and became thefastest selling consumer gadget of all time.
On the continued strength of the Kinect, and in part due to its own momentum, the Xbox 360 was the best-selling console in April. As it was in March, February, January, and so forth. Let it suffice to say that the Xbox 360 is sitting pretty at the moment.

We have been hearing both 2013 and 2015 as possible years for the next Xbox, but we are not worrying about it too much. Why not? With thefuture of PC gaming so bright, who needs consoles, right?
