Microsoft exec dismisses Sony's Gamescom dig

4.7
Sony's PlayStation leader Andrew House, decided to take some time near the end of its Gamescom press conference on Tuesday to take a shot at Microsoft, specifically on its many changes it has made for the Xbox One between its reveal in May to today. House hinted that Microsoft had "shifted their message and changed their story" in regard to the Xbox One while Sony has stayed on target with the PS4.

Today, Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer dismissed Sony's "shifting message" jab during a Eurogamer interview, saying that their efforts to listen to consumers was in fact an advantage. Spencer stated:

The two-way conversation we have with our customers is a strength. Certain people have tried to turn that into something that's a bad thing about what we're trying to do, and I just disagree.
Spencer used the example of his own participation at a community event at Gamescom on Tuesday night, were members of the general public were able to play Xbox One games. Spencer said he walked the floor and listened to comments from gamers, both good and bad, about the Xbox One launch titles that were playable on the floor.

In the end, Spencer says that Microsoft is still committed to its digital vision for games and the Xbox One console, despite making changes to their original plans to accommodate gamers who still want physical media. He stated, "It meant some delays in some of the stuff around digital so we could fit in the time to get physical done at launch, but our vision remains the same."

Proclaim Well Xbox is still the better console it has been since the original xbox. Sells more, has better games, better exclusives, more competition. PS4 will always have online issues. It getting constantly hacked. Sony should of stayed to making tv's. They arn't good at making a console.


Sony has been hacked once, Sony have made the best consoles to date, PS2 beat Xbox, PS3 has sold the same amount of consoles as Xbox 360 despite releasing a year later than Xbox. So maybe Microsoft should stick to making Computers.


omg insanelyawesome - i totally agree with you , big whoop sony got hacked once but xbox has had a shit lot of outages just in this year , ps1 dominated when it released , ps2 was branded the best console of its time and as this guy said ps3 released a year later than xbox and still managed to sell the same amount of consoles , infact a recent poll shows that the ps3 has now sold more consoles than the 360 :)

Thought Sony were being abit Childish in their comment towards Microsoft, Glad MS didn't reiterate, atleast there's some hope for the 'war' to remain professional

Jap I honestly think the war between Sony and Microsoft are pointless.
People will buy the console they want to buy.


its not a war people are making it into something its not, whether ms fanboys like me like it or not sony was being honest. they did keep their promise from day one by giving people what they wanted and not following along with enforcing rules. this is what happens when your being honest you get called childish and a bad company when really they were being 100% real.

have you played either one? or are you basing your opinion off of ps3 vs xbox 360? play it before you judge it. im so tired of people like you who have not even played the consoles but say which one is better. just stop it you and everyone else.

Youngy Sony are getting as childish as their fanboys.


Ok first off your obviously an xbox "fanboy" so you have no right to call playstation fans "fanboys..." and playstation fans haven't had any problems with the ps4.. thats why we haven't changed. ..


Tell me, what magical power do you have that gives you the ability to figure out if he is a fan boy? Please tell me. He has the right to say whatever the **** he wants, freedom of speech. Your right playstation fans havent had any problems with the ps4 yet so why did Andrew House bash on us? I dont remember us bashing Sony when we were destroying them when it came to better online experience with the 360?
