Remember the bald, “totally hardcore” guy called J Allard who spearheaded the Xbox 360 launch? Well, he has been shifted to the Zune business and well, he doesn’t think gaming is coming to Microsoft’s media player “anytime soon.”

“I love games and maybe for someone with a 40-minute commute, it might be an interesting scenario,” he said. “Thus far, the market really hasn’t proven out that it is a great scenario. Customer satisfaction with what has been done isn’t that high.” He also mentions the problem of the “platform”, citing differences between generations of devices that will cause backwards compatibility a major problem.
