Develop one game, have it work with a PC, phone and Xbox

Now here’s something pretty damn cool — Microsoft has just shown off at TechEd Middle East how simple it is to develop a game that will work with an Xbox 360, PC and a Windows Phone 7 Series powered device. This means you develop a game in Visual Studio and then you’ll be able to play it on a PC with a keyboard, an Xbox 360 with a controller and a Windows Phone 7 Series device with the touchscreen and accelerometer. The amazing part of this is that all 3 versions of the game share 90% of the code.

This is obviously Microsoft’s push to unify their product line and I’m sure we will be seeing some amazing games coming out utilizing this method.
