Gamescom: Microsoft Responds to Sony's Snarky Sucker Punch
"We're running our program. That's a strength of who we are."
by Mitch Dyer AUGUST 21, 2013

Microsoft has responded to an unsubtle jab at Xbox One made during Sony's press conference at Gamescom this week. Sony Computer Entertainment's Andrew House unsubtle jab at Microsoft during its Gamescom press conference. Previously, House stated, "While others have shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining a message that is fair and in tune with consumer desires."

Phil Spencer of Microsoft Game Studios told Eurogamer, "Other people will do and say what they're going to say. Fine. We're running our program. That's a strength of who we are."

A philosophy Spencer keeps returning to is "the two-way conversation with gamers." It's something that "has to be core to who we are as a platform. If we don't have the capability of listening and reacting to what people are saying about our platform, then we're being too disconnected from customers who make investments in our platform and the games we build...If we weren't able to listen then I don't think we're really creating the ecosystem that means people want to come into the platform."

Following Microsoft's numerous changes to Xbox One, Spencer says that "Now, we have a vision, and we've stayed on that vision around the digital ecosystem we want to put on Xbox Live. It remains a core philosophy. We heard people valued some of the existing generation's disc-based DRM, so we said we're going to add that to the digital ecosystem we're building."

What do you think? Is Microsoft smart to play it straight while Sony takes pot-shots from the side?




Sony feeling themselves a little too early...

I mean, it was funny at E3. But its wearing a little thin

Lol stores will get their shipments a week or two in advance, not no two and a half months

I was looking at that post wondering if son was serious

So ain't none of ya'll catch this?

What happens at Target this Sunday, is that when they get their PS4 shipments?

If so...

I'm actually curious myself.

Yea, they get their PS4 shipments 2 and a half months early. That's how retail works. They will be open Sunday for 45 minutes, but will only sell the PS4 with a purchase of over $1000. You must also show proof of residence in one of the 13 colonies and a family voting record that dates back to the Jacksonian Democrats. Those who can recite the Bucky O'hare theme song will be rushed to the front of the line.

damn looks like i got some researching to do, gonna be a long few days

Microsoft is the same company that declared they would outsell / win the console war over the PS3 at a E3 conference Sony can talk all they want

If someone can post them (still dont know how to imbed IGN videos), IGN did Rewind Theatres for Killzone and Infamous that are really informative, especially the Killzone one.

Love or hate Killzone, they are trying new things which I am very much open for. No XP is a big one, looks like they may try and sway players to go for objectives through challenges, which are they way you advance.

Im a fan of the series and really like the MP (I know I am in the minority) so I am excited to see some change!

 

[Figured it out]

EXACTLY. NOT TO MENTION, THE GAP, IN MY EYES, HAS CLOSED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEN. OUTSIDE OF SOME HARDWARE SPECS, BOTH SYSTEMS LOOK DAMN NEAR IDENTICAL IN FEATURES.
