Ah, so MS will leverage your search habits and app installs etc. from the Windows OS to target ads at you on the XBone.
This is the biggest downfall but yet biggest potential advantage here for MS over Sony, MS has a much bigger ecosystem with their PC side to draw from. I'm not sure if the political ads were a good place to start though.
Sony could jump in with Google to get targeted ads on the Playstation by having an option to log into your Google account.
I'm old school though, I prefer no targeted ads at me at all while I game.
I don't use Bing nor Windows 8 apps so I don't know how they'll get that type of info. The original article seemed to point to MS looking for huge paychecks to be written out to them from one party or another. They must be feeling the pressure of the PS4 a little more than I thought.
