according to Microsoft's site, PMCs, which are due in the fall, won't play games at all, and will still be strictly for music, photos, and video. However, since games can already be played on the Windows Mobile platform--as GameSpot editor Jason Ocampo reminds everyone in the office every time he walks by playing Age of Empires on his pocket PC--getting games onto PMCs would be an easy proposition. But will Microsoft decide to hype the PMC as a PSP rival with a big game push, or will it prefer to let the device's media features sell themselves? Either way, the PMC will always be a media viewer first, and game machine second.
