There is no real skype integration in kinect for xbox (though they claim to be working on it and everyone seems to be waiting for windows 8 for this to happen). Microsoft is just ahead in content deals (Fios, Xfinity, ESPN, Hulu, Netflix, etc). None of these are really exclusive to xbox, but the build out is already there. The question is whether next generation consoles (2013 or 2014) with improved kinect features and media integration will be adopted by casual gamers because by then there will probably be an offering from Apple for an integrated tv set (probably for $1500+).
