Interesting interview with Microsoft Game Studios' corporate vice president Shane Kim, and Microsoft Game Developer Group director of marketing Dave Mitchell from GDC

Sadly no big news on game sharing, 'youtube for games' or Live integration - that's all passed over with 'We're not ready to talk about those plans in detail yet, but ... we are definitely making progress.

Some interesting quotes regarding Game Studio Express:

• ...we've had 250,000 downloads of that retail product...
• ...based upon forum activity and the types of games people are submitting and sharing, that the vast majority of them are first-time game developers.
