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."

I honestly think the war between Sony and Microsoft are pointless.
People will buy the console they want to buy.

In one way I agree with what Sony said as it makes the consumer wonder how confident Microsoft really are with their product. Although in another way it's good that Microsoft are acting on opinions of potential consumers.
Double edged sword really.

Youngy Sony are getting as childish as their fanboys.
Ok first off your obviously an xbox "fanboy" so you have no right to call playstation fans "fanboys..." and playstation fans haven't had any problems with the ps4.. thats why we haven't changed. ..

Yeah I really don't see why people liked sonys comment so much. What Microsoft has shown is that they listen to what people want and can make changes.
