Just when you thought Sony’s key executives were the only crazy ones, Microsoft’s Peter Moore comes along and makes a statement so insane… it’s almost scary. In an interview with Kikizo, the man behind the Xbox team got a little too proud of the Xbox 360 and said that the company has “under promised and over delivered” referring to the console’s backwards compatibility with Xbox games.
Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under promised and over delivered on that. It’s a very complicated thing… very complex work. I’m just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible.He added: “more are coming, but at some point, you just go, there’s enough, let’s move on, or people aren’t as worried about a game being backwards compatible - and I like to think we’ve upheld our end of the bargain in making at least two or maybe three hundred games backwards compat.”
He also talks about larger hard drives for the 360, as well as third-party support, Japanese popularity and more.
Ending speculations, Yahoo Games carries confirmation from a Sony representative that the PlayStation 3 will come bundled with a 60GB HDD as mentioned by Ken Kutaragi during his speech. It is also mentioned that the HDD can be upgraded if preferred.
