Microsoft: We want to go head-to-head with PS3
>> From gamesindustry.biz:
[QUOTE]
When asked about Microsoft's reaction to the news that the PS3 would not launch in Europe this side of Christmas, Xbox boss Neil Thompson replied: "In some ways it would have been good if it had, because then people could have really made the comparison. Sometimes it's worse when you're fighting a myth, than when you're fighting reality."
"We would have quite liked to have gone head-to-head on those issues because we feel very strongly that we have an incredibly compelling offering," he added.
And despite Nintendo warning retail channels its Wii console may sell out in Europe this Christmas, Thompson is adamant that the new system will not encroach on Microsoft's space.
"It has the potential of taking consumers spend and wallet share away from us in general, but at a product comparison level it's not competing with us at all. It's an innovative, low-definition product," said Thompson.
"They are only a competitor in so much as they'll take consumers pounds and I'd like to have as many of those as I can," he concluded.
