i vaguely remember that was the original idea behind XBOX Live. you create your avatar, use that avatar within the xbox game library, collect achievement point and can use those points in other games.
what went wrong? the monetization of virtual currency, why give for free when you can charge. MS Points is big business for the Xbox Live property also i think independent developers didn't want to pay to use the xbox live avatar. When Microsoft already charges them an arm and leg for every network action, (ie, to be listed on the marketplace, every update to their game, achievement tracking, etc.)
