THIS is what I like to see

Guess who made a few nice comments about the Revolution recently?! None other then Peter Moore, Vice President of all afairs Xbox. Take a look at what he had to say.

"I want to give kudos for Nintendo for its attempt at innovation with the new controller," Moore commented, saying that the new device would "bring people in that, as Iwata-san said, are either lapsed gamers or gamers that are intimidated by the complexity of the controller.

"We said at E3, we want a billion consumers touched in this next generation by our industry. That was an industry message. Certainly, we can see Nintendo rallying to that cry and reiterating what Robbie said on May 16th; I heard the same words come from Iwata-san of Nintendo yesterday."

Microsoft's people have always recognized that Nintendo is an extremely innovative company. On more then a few occasions Microsoft has made offers to Nintendo to try to buy them out and have them work on Xbox, but that just isn't happening. It is still great to hear praise from the competition, and this is some of the best praise from competitors that I have heard in quite some time.

I remember back in 2003, one of the guys at Microsoft (Sean something?) said his favorite game of the past year was Animal Crossing. I had much respect for him after that. ; )
