What a great interview. I don't feel those were softball questions or answers. I feel that until Albert says "PS4 is so fucking great, so awesome, XB1 doesn't stand a chance" that a lot people on this board are going to discount everything he says or just call him a PR shill. He WORKS for MS, if anybody asked me about my company in public there are a tons of stuff I don't agree with but I won't comment on them or I will give a generic answer. You just can't ask that of somebody. He mentions the 180, he mentions that they expected some backlash just not to the amount.
I look at the PS3 launch and how incredibly cocky Sony was and how much they didn't care about gamers in general (we don't even need games and people will buy it), they didn't give a shit about a unified system or online, and I see how companies change with their market and how Sony has recovered from that and now is a bastion for gamers around the world. I think MS can do the same and I think their DRM policies will be ironed out more until they are acceptable much like Steam is.
But, only time will tell. I just think that their policies weren't communicated well enough in the beginning. Their DRM was a bit Draconian and needs to be levied with legitimate customer's needs and such.
It will be an interesting generation indeed.
