| Peter Moore was President of Sega of America during the Dreamcast era, and so is eminently qualified to be Microsoft's corporate vice president for Xbox retail sales and marketing. But this interview suggests that his real job is actually to draw attention away from Steve Ballmer with some equally insane comments of his own. Examples:
"You'll start to see us moving away from what we believe Sony propagates, which is the darker side of gaming - guys on their own, in the bedroom playing till all hours - to the more social aspects of gaming. "The hardcore gamer may argue it's still a solitary thing, but our research show there's nothing better than playing with your mate on the couch next to you and kicking his rear end, and playing your mate 10,000 miles away and still kicking his rear end. "That's the key: it's the competitive nature, and it's the ability to bring people together through gaming, rather than making them solitary, socially-challenged individuals who can't string a sentence together 'cos all they do is play Doom or Quake in their bedroom." "As we see a broadening of the market, a title I think will be massively successful is Disney Skateboarding, which uses the Tony Hawk's engine." [to the question "Is karaoke core to games?"] "Yes, because it's core to the social aspect of what you do." "Going forward, I'm extremely happy in Europe; with Japan we need to do a little bit more work, but True Fantasy Live Online is going to be a huge weapon for us there. An MMORPG for a console, which the Japanese market is dying for, and we'll be the first to do it." P.S. YOU'RE FIRED |
