Peter Moore, Microsoft Xbox Vice President, praises Nintendo’s Revolution controller, regarding Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s goals of expanding the video game market with their next consoles.

 “I want to give kudos for Nintendo for its attempt at innovation with the new controller,” Moore continued by saying he felt the controller 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 need to grow as an industry,” Moore extended. “Having a simplified controller is one tactic in what is a larger strategic battle we need to face to grow this business.”

According to Moore, Microsoft is also expanding the video game market through the Xbox 360’s “digital lifestyle” functionality. This is a surprise and invigorating change to the usual stabs the 3 major companys have been taking at eachother.
