Does Bill Gates have the next eharmony on his hands with none other than … XBox live? According to this story from xbox.com two Xbox live gamers playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon have hooked up for more than a gaming session:

When Nicky got home, they kept talking on the phone every night, and she returned to Ottawa to spend the holidays with Jim. What’s next for Bigdog and Sekmet? Jim tells us, “More than likely, in the fall we’re gonna get married. I’m not letting her go.” Nicky will be moving to Ottawa, where she hopes to become a Canadian citizen and study massage therapy.

XBox is already poised in to provide matchmaking services, so why not offer this service? A couple good reasons not to do this come to mind like the fact that some accounts (like our family) are shared accounts, so the credit card holder is not necessarily the Gamer Tag player. Also, you have the whole online gender change thing where men play women and vice versa. Still, there are matchmaking possibilities through gaming, especially since Xbox Live comes with voice chat, so this can’t be ruled out as one possible alternative avenue for Xbox. Online matchmaking is a hot business model, so they have to (don’t they?) be at least considering it … maybe somehow connected to the mature rated games.

According to the Microsoft Blog this Xbox Live couple has had a baby!
