Moore Comments from Microsoft

[ShadowMarth]

Well, remember when Moore decided that he loved the Revolution? Well, either he was drunk, is now drunk, or gates got pissed at him for saying it. Well, now we've got the normal microsoft back.

(Hehe, see the pun in the title?)

The article is written by a person of the French variety, so don't expect perfect grammar.

In this month’s EGM, Microsoft’s Peter Moore is praising Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto genius behing the Revolution controller in a bold statement. “I found it very intriguing, and I’m always a big fan of companies that try and innovate in a space where we need to do things a little differently.”

However, how the controller works is still a mystery “because there’s no game to demo against it yet, to get a feel for it, but I still respect and admire the fact that they’re willing to take what is clearly a huge risk to innovate. Let’s see if it works out for them.”

Moore then told the magazine that he was a “huge fan” of Miyamoto, and that he share’s J. Allard’s “desire that one day he will bring his incredible content and his incredible vision for what gaming should be to the XBOX [360].” He is prepared to give up his cars and house (yeah right) to convince Miyamoto to jump onboard in the Microsoft bandwagon.

The magazine also featured a very condescending (maybe not) Bill Gates: “Nintendo… You’ve got to give it to them. They march to the beat of a different drummer. Sometimes that makes them incredibly right and sometimes that makes them incredibly wrong. They’re certainly making a very different bet in terms of how much they’re putting into the graphics this time. I do think there is a question as to whether they can get outside the young age bracket at all. That’s been tough for them.”

When asked if he wished Microsoft had come up with such an interesting concept, “Uh… No. We’ll watch and see,” said a skeptical Gates. “Holding two different things like that? Anyway…”

Yeah, that would be a bad thing for Sony.

this is very strange indeed. microsoft seem to be subtly encourageing their customers to get a revolution or at least have a look. makes sense though. if ppl have 2 consoles they are less likely to get a 3rd. clever idea. it seems nintendo will be in this war wheather they like it or not though, and technically on microsofts side. an alliance by proxy so to speak :P. man microsoft are ambitious.

Well, it seems the PR team at M$ is promoting the Revo so that their customers won't buy a PS3 as a second console. It makes perfect sense, seeing as how they don't view Nintendo as a threat (it's true that Sony is their only major competitor). It's a good thing I guess. I'd rather people buy Revo's that PS3's myself. So along the same lines as Neumie was saying.

But Gates' comments seemed to be on a totally different side of the fence, if only subtly. Maybe he secretly ph34rz Nintendo. Hm.

It's a real conspracy.Mabe Gates did this to obliterate Nintendo later on. Or mabe he loves Nintendo so much that he won't stand for any of the competition Nintendo has.
