At the MI6 conference, Microsoft's Peter Moore, Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot and EA's Bing Gordon sparred on a heavyweight closing panel, and Gamasutra has highlights from the Michael Pachter-moderated showdown.
The panel, 'Gaming 2010', was billed as "A blue ribbon panel of experts project where the gaming future is headed in the next 3-5 years"
Moore On Xbox Plans
Peter Moore: When we at Microsoft think about how we will be doing business three or four years from now, we think about the three C's: Connected, Community, and Content. And content is not just games.
When we built the original Xbox, broadband wasn't as ubiquitous as it is today, but the courageous move to require a broadband connection for the original Xbox laid the platform for where we stand today. More than six million people today connect through Xbox Live...
The second thing is about community, about the role of user-created content, and this concept of personalization of the entertainment experience... The third of the three C's is content. Michael points out that content is going to be the real thing that determines winners and losers. It's not just content from the point of view of games, though they are going to be incredibly important.
There's high-definition movies, and TV shows. The thing we need to do as an industry is to play an important part of the visual entertainment lifestyle of our consumers. Those are the three things we will be talking about in the future. None of that would have been relevant to the conversation five years ago.
