Word War Nth: MS calls Sony’s Playstation Network a “disaster”

mudsling

Forget Trump and Rosie! If you’re looking for spewing acid, the rumble is on between Microsoft and Sony with MS firing the first shot. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz at CES 2007, the general manager of MS game development group Chris Satchell called Sony’s Playstation Network and Xbox Live “killer” a “disaster.”

Not to be outdone, Peter Moore, Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business vice-prez, said “It is not in Sony’s DNA to be able to get that up and running from zero.” According to Moore, unlike Sony, MS took four years to get to where it is today. “It’s going to take them a couple of years to get up to speed on this. And I’m not sure that they necessarily have the talent, or that it’s built into who they are as a company.”

We’ve never heard such fighting words of this magnitude since Rosie called Trump a “pimp” and Donald called Rosie a “degenerate.”

The full interview with Satchell will be posted by GamesIndustry.biz tomorrow. But you can read the full interview with Moore by clicking on the “Read” link below.
