John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, Applauds Sony, Says They "F*cking Nailed it," With The PS4

The CEO of Unity, and the former CEO of EA, John Riccitiello had nothing just praise for Sony in this current generation console war when he spoke at the GamesBeat Summit. He was quite edgeless in his adoration for the strategy that Sony adopted in being able to secure themselves in this generation.

John Riccitiello spoke candidly about Sony'southward victory in the panel wars, mentions the different overall strategies as reasons why.

Riccitiello noticed that Microsoft and Sony differed in how they approached their customers. Sony adopted a "gamers first" type of mentality, which helped to win over the bulk of customers that are looking primarily for a gaming device. Microsoft, in dissimilarity, has a much larger vision for their little box. And it's that vision of slightly disparate ideas that may have hurt its sales. He had this to say nigh Microsofts approach:

In the battle of large ideas … there was a clash of ideas that really separated Sony and Microsoft. They actually had very like architecture that they were trying to bring to the table. But Microsoft focused … a lot on amusement beyond gaming. Microsoft was trying to [compete against] Apple. They didn't feel gaming was large enough to justify the pent-upwardly want … to have the recognition they wanted equally an innovator.

- John Riccitiello

In regards to the PS4, he was very positive and had a lot of good things to say about information technology:

Sony but said, 'Nosotros've made the best fucking game organization we could' … partly because they didn't have the resource to do more about it. Microsoft was focused on the shot afterward the one they needed to make, putting the 7-brawl in the corner pocket, but they missed the first shot and didn't go another shot afterwards it. Sony focused on the shot they needed to make, which was win the hearts and minds of the gamer. The broader scope of entertainment might be a bigger thought, but non with an unfocused execution. A tight execution on the 50 million people that matter, which are the people currently lapping upwards consoles … Sony f*cking nailed it, and they deserve the victory.

-John Riccitiello

Does this mean that if Microsoft had started downwards a different path that the results would have been unlike? It seems that the Xbox 360 was already evolving into a more than media-centric device with a host of different capabilities thrown in in an endeavour to entice even further adoption. But do you dear readers think that if Microsoft focused solely on providing a good gaming experience, first and foremost, that things would take been differently?
