Microsoft remain focused
Following on from the earlier news, regarding the delay of Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft have responded by saying,
“For us, Sony’s announcement doesn’t change anything. We’ve had a very clear strategy for a long time now, and we’re not going to change that. We’re not going to react to anything that they do. We’ll be in full supply of Xbox 360s shortly, we’ve got great content on the way, and we’ve got fantastic third-party support. “If Sony happens to stumble – and we know firsthand that there are a lot of challenges in a worldwide launch – then we’ll be in an incredibly strong position to take advantage.”
On GamerScoreBlog a Microsoft employee also had the following comment to make, “This announcement certainly doesn’t change any of our plans. We’ve blasted out of the gate with the greatest launch in the history of video games and we’re keeping our eyes squarely fixed on today and on the Xbox 360 road ahead, including continuous new content and programming through our premier Xbox Live online gaming service, the delivery of 80 high definition games and shipping between 4.5 and 5.5 million consoles by June.”
How many disgruntled Sony fanboys will now buy an Xbox 360, rather than waiting till November? and will the worldwide launch lead to chaos for Sony? Sony will need to produce a stunning launch game line-up if they wish to impress consumers.
