Xbox will rule next generation consoles

Posted on Friday, 23 May 2003 by DoubleD, source: Fragland
In an interesting article, BBC World Online had an interview with Michel Cassius, Director of Xbox in Europe.

It's well worth the read, here are some remarkable quotes:
...the PlayStation's supremacy is being challenged aggressively and Microsoft officials are confident they will succeed in the long run.
...
By Microsoft standards, the Xbox launch was an unimpressive affair, thanks to wildly overpriced hardware.

"The pricing at the start was a mistake, but we learned quickly," admitted Mr Cassius.

"One thing Microsoft does well is listen. We learned quickly and then moved on," he told BBC News Online.

"At the end of the day it's the best console on the market. It has the best functionality, the best graphics, it has DVD, a hard drive and everything a gamer could want."
...
When it comes to online gaming, Microsoft has a zeal that far outstrips its rivals, Nintendo and Sony.

"Of course a console needs to be online," insisted Mr Cassius. "Soon most games will be online.
...
"Will we lead this generation? No. It will be the next generation. That is our ambition."
But what struck me was this :
"The core gamer is getting older. There is a broadening of the market. My nine-year-old daughter is now asking me, 'When will there be happy games?'"
I have to admit... the 10 minutes of spare time I had during this past E3... I found myself enjoying Activisions Shrek 2.
I do enjoy a 'happy' game on my console from time to time.

Xbox doesn't need happy games, the cube is the master of fluffiness.
