Sony has "done a nice job with PS4", says Xbox One's Phil Spencer
"Nintendo, I think - and there's some argument about this - that their first-party is such an amazing asset," he began, when our colleagues in the US asked what he had learned from rivals. "Their first party studios and IP can lead what they do as a company and the platforms are almost in service to the IP - not in a bad way.
"They have such iconic stories and this will seem somewhat random, but when we go back and do something like Killer Instinct, a little bit of the history of your franchise can actually be important part of people feeling connected. Obviously the history of Killer Instinct isn't a history on Xbox, but it's Rare's history and I think the reaction when we announced it on-stage at E3 showed that playing to the people's heart, I think Nintendo does that as well as anybody in terms of hitting the franchises and having huge success with them."
As for PlayStation, Spencer is cheered by Sony's willingness to back developers like Quantic Dream, creator of the intriguing but rather oblique Heavy Rain. "Sony - and I'm focused on first-party because of what I do - I really respect their focus on investing in new things and creative things, what they've done with David Cage and Quantic Dream around Beyond [Two Souls] and Heavy Rain; they stay committed to franchises even if they don't sell 10 million units, they'll stay committed to things.
"I think that long-term commitment to franchises is important, where it's easy to pull off the Band-Aid and move onto the next thing [if it doesn't sell]. I respect their 'stick-to-it-iveness'. I'll say, they've done a nice job with PS4 [...] When I think about their announcement, their clear focus on a customer, leading with the value proposition of what they're trying to do, staying true to a vision, I think they've done a nice job in how they defined the PS4."

i wonder if microsoft or sony have ever thought about taking over nintendo?? nintendo practically swallowed up sega, as i used to remember the rivalry between the two companies back in the late 80`s early 90`s sonic and mario worst enemies and all that.. now they are featured in games together and the sega brand has become quite an affiliate of nintendo.. it would be an extremely shrewd move by either one (MS/sony) if they could integrate the best hardware idea`s from nintendo within a MS built console, giving nintendo`s platform more power and capability as they would share innovations and learn from each other but also it would enable a whole new way to market the console.. with say an xbox one the addition of mario and sonic to other fan favorites like rayman all likeable characters to all generations coupled together with an improved version of the wii`s motion tech, touch screen and kinect... you would create something very special and hard to resist, the potential of a merger between is limitless

I'm glad it's not all bad blood. People on the internet make it seem like they hate each other.

Nice try Phil.
What are you on about? He is respecting his rival by giving them positive comments? So what are you on about?
