Microsoft published a blog post yesterday titled opening a billion doors with Xbox and the post now has a fairly generic image of the Xbox UI on a bunch of devices but as spotted by Tom Warren at The Verge it's different than the image that was originally included which depicted an Xbox console next to a TV showing an Xbox user interface with a search tag for steam now hold on hold on just just calm down this doesn't mean that Xbox consoles are going to play Steam games this is probably just a mockup for the Windows Xbox app and the Xbox console and TV are just in there because the next gen Xbox is rumored to basically be a Windows PC in all but name wait that makes the Steam on Xbox thing seem more likely okay and then uh there's also the fact that Microsoft VP of Next Generation Jason
