Aussie Xbox boss reacts to the PlayStation launch confirmation

When we last heard from him, the Aussie Xbox boss was downplaying motion sensing, couldn’t see the Wii selling more than 50,000 units, and was promising Xbox 360 users the option to watch Peter Jackson’s King Kong in HD glory.

Yeah, he had very sharp words to say about the competition back then. But what about now? Well, now that the PlayStation 3 has been confirmed to hit PAL retail, the Aussie boss is a bit more welcoming.

Australia and New Zealand“>David McLean, Xbox Regional Director of Australia and New Zealand, has a positive approach to the impending launch of their rival. He says to iTWire:

I really want to welcome PlayStation 3 to the ANZ market. After all the talk, Australian gamers will finally have the chance to compare the consoles side-by-side and more importantly decide for themselves whatÂ’s the best all round experience.

It’s refreshing to see an exec being confident about their own console without having to decry the competition.
