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.

Fuzzeh_XKatsumiIt's smaller than the 360 controller so it really depends on hand size and what you prefer.Ampz Looks about the same size as the 360 controller. I find that a good thing.
I'm hoping that this controller is as conferrable and easy to use as the Xbox 360 controller, while it took me a while to get used to the 360 controller i ended up loving it after a while
smaller :(
they should make controllers at 3 diffrent sizes.
