Microsoft-sjefen Yusuf Mehdi har forklart litt om hvorfor det at lanseringen av de to konsollene Xbox One og Playstation 4 sammenfaller tidsmessig er bra for spillbransjen:
- First, I do think it's an incredible time for gamers. One of the things that has never happened is we go head-to-head with a competitor on a console launch. I think that's going to bring a lot of energy to the overall gaming market and a lot of focus and attention, and I think that's going to further grow the market. So I think in general it's a good time to be a gamer. We feel good about our business within that.
Samtidig mener Mehdi at Xbox One har en liten fordel ovenfor Playstation 4:
- Competitively speaking, so far, I feel like we have a much better... more complete value prop. We do things that aren't found on other platforms with the Kinect, a huge piece of differentiation. As I said before, the fact that we do entertainment and gaming.
- And then even if you just take gamers, hardcore gamers, gamers buy for the game. They don't buy for stats on a spec sheet. And if you look at the games we have, according to most industry experts now, a better lineup of games.
