Microsoft showed just how far they are behind with this stunning leaked video of the ‘future’.

  • Social: My friends and I connect and share social experiences across social networks. Our gaming experiences are not limited to a single platform or property, but extend exclusively across the Internet.
  • Identity: My Avatar is my online identity. It represents my style, attitude and character. I can see and personalise my character on the web, my PC or while playing a game.
  • Search: New games and media are easy to discover and play. I can quickly search, find and play the games and view the media that are of interest to me.
  • Transaction: From a 99 cent virtual item to a $49.99 game, I can spend my money as I see fit. Buying things enhances my gaming and entertainment experience.
  • The future of PC gaming is upon us. The question is who will lead and who will follow? Are you ready to change the world? We are.

The comments on Reddit sum it up pretty well.
