I would think that Windows 8 and the next Xbox will have killer integration with WP 7.x but knowing Microsoft's dysfunctional departments, I will not be surprised if there is none or its done poorly.

Think:

- A build once deploy to WP7, Win8 and Xbox Live dev to attract developers.

- Skydrive integration across all windows apps

- seamless Skype+Facebook+IM messaging

etc.

With how aggravating games for windows live is, I don't have much faith in a well integrated system either.

Given how well integrated Windows Phone and Xbox Live are already, I've got plenty of faith in good integration going forward.
