Harvey Eagle, the new marketing boss for the Xbox 360 in the United Kingdom, says that the home console from Microsoft will become an even more important element of the entertainment ecosystem, hinting at future plans for the platform.

A statement quoted by VG247 states, “Every single person on the planet likes to be entertained. When you think of Xbox as an entertainment service that will show up on any device, you realize our journey has only just begun.”

Microsoft has already started to expand the presence of various Xbox services and ideas via the new Windows-powered mobile phones and via the SmartGlass initiative.

It seems that the same trend will pick up pace after the launch of the next home console generation from Microsoft, which will probably take place during late 2013.
