Take-Two CEO encourages 'flexibility' in next-gen console policies
In an overarching statement on next-generation console policies during a financial results call today, Zelnick's message was one of maintaining consumer-friendly flexibility.
"Our own view is that meeting consumers where they are is the best way to run a business and you want to make sure that your policies reflect the way people like to consume product," he said.
"We've always been ecumenical about platforms, channels, geography and business models. We are not a rule-based company. Our goal is to delight consumers and the way we do that is by being flexible - bringing them the best products wherever they are, on whatever platform they want to consume it.
"We try to be good partners with the console makers - they are our bread and butter, we support them as they do us. We recognise that they set these policies and we encourage the policies to be as open-minded as possible. But you can rest assured that we will always be a leader in being flexible and consumer-friendly within the purview of the policies that the console makers set."
Microsoft demonstrated a willingness to make major sweeping changes to its Xbox One policies when it shockingly ditched the Xbox One DRM system that stood at the core of the new console's online-focused E3 sales pitch.
And previous concerns that the Xbox One marketplace would dismiss indie devs - by not featuring distinct Xbox Live Arcade and Indie channels - were at least partially dispelled when the firm announced plans to allow self-publishing and offer development capabilities on every Xbox One.

PS controllers are too small and feel awful to hold. I much prefer the Xbox controllers.

WhoavarExoticWolfsMW2-Rush Honestly, I prefer the Xbox 360 controller over any other controller!
I would have to agree. I could care less for PS controllers, they don't feel that comfortable and don't fit in your hand like the 360 controllers also. but I am not use to them either.
I also agree. PS controllers are to light and small.
xbox controllers are much better in my eyes. i really like them and they havent changed from the original too much although that was a bit clunky
Xbox controllers just seem to fit my hands way better

Yup! ive loved that controller since i first got my 360 like 6 years ago xD the way the PS3 controllers sticks are so close and the way i hold the controller bumping my 2 thumbs together made them bleed from time to time :o

It's because it was the only controller that could actually fit in your hand.

F-18FYI I wonder what the scuf version will be like
Probably terrible, never liked Scuff.
Scuff is more for people that are hardcore gamers.
