    So I really have a problem with Microsoft execs saying and game media people parroting that Xbox One is aimed at a "broad" audience. The person who watches the NFL, plays Call of Duty, and still likes live cable tv is at least theoretically the same person---namely, an older/middle aged white man.
    Now you can parse that out, and argue that a little brat swearing on XBL probably is savvy enough to watch Netflix or what have you, but the assumptions are there. Jeff Gerstman brought up the term "mono culture." That is exactly right. So you know, Microsoft aligning different media properties does not equate broadness. Seeing a game that isn't another fps with "exciting" on rails sequences and lots of brown would be a step towards broadness.
