Game consoles are no longer simply for video games, as evidenced by last week s announcement that the PlayStation 3 is the top Netflix ( NFLX ) streaming device of the year. Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft s ( MSFT ) chief marketing officer for its Interactive Entertainment Division , said this past March that Xbox 360 owners were spending more hours watching online entertainment than playing online games. And now, in a bid to bolster its efforts to conquer the living room, Microsoft Director of Programming for Xbox Live Larry Major Nelson Hyrb announced in a blog post that 43 new entertainment apps (mostly video) will launch between now and spring of 2013 in various regions. Ten new apps including ARTE, CinemaNow, CNET, Karaoke, Maxim, Napster, SkyDrive, SPORT1, VEVO and Zattoo will arrive this week. Microsoft s full list of upcoming apps follows below.
