In an interview with MCV, the Head of Xbox Marketing in Europe, Richard Teversham, has unleashed a barrage of abuse toward their competitors.
Not only did Teversham call Wii," a Gamecube with a DVD drive", he also takes a stab at Sony's pricing of the PS3 and feels that Sony are just leaning on the loyalty of its fans to sell their PC/console.
The Xbox head then goes on to reveal that Microsoft may have a few tricks up their sleeve for when the PS3 launches, “I don’t want to reveal any plans at the moment because we want to keep a number of surprises up our sleeve. We will ensure we are good value and we’ll do that through having a variety of pricing on games, a variety of pricing on console offers.”
