"Cable guys" like HDNet CEO Mark Cuban frequently argue that Internet video will simply never replace cable TV, specifically because the Internet (at least currently) can't handle live broadcasts to millions of people (well, that and they have homes and boats paid for by the traditional cable business). According to the NY Times, Microsoft apparently isn't listening -- and is working on a deal with Disney that would bring live ESPN sporting events to the Xbox 360. While Microsoft says they have seen 2.2 million concurrent users globally, those users aren't all watching video at the same time and live events like Microsoft's 1 vs. 100 trivia game sees just 100,000 concurrent users. Still, with 360's in 39 million homes world wide, it's the opening salvo in a much broader battle.
