Microsoft exec dismisses Sony's Gamescom dig
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."

Whilst it can be said that Microsoft changing things due to feedback from the Xbox community is a good thing as it shows they're listening to what the community wants, others may say that Microsoft simply didn't get it right the first time. I believe that it is great that Microsoft has taken in the feedback from the community and made changes based upon them, as it makes for a better console.

But PC has a smaller fan base that Xbox or PS but that still doesn't mean it's not the best ;)
People have to pay way more to get a good gaming pc when you can just buy on Xbox or PS for cheap
