| misterd said: I would say his answers in response to Japanese sales would also constitute a smokescreen. He makes a good case about improving his relationship with Japanese developers and companies, but desperately doesn't want to address how poorly the 360 is doing in sales. |
I think his answers on the Japanese market are honest once you factor in marketing-speak.
He basically says "yeah, we suck" and then goes on to talk about how he's trying to break into the market. He's not disingenous about it, he just talks about how hard it is to get into the culture. He's the first to realize that MS needs to do better there and if you read between the lines, he's mocking Sony for not doing much better in the market, which is kinda funny.
After listening to Peter Moore speak for awhile, I really like him. I might even like him more than Phil Harrison, a guy I really like to hear speak. Reggie is also a good time but he works better in written interviews than he does taped ones.
The only thing that's sad here is that while Moore and Reggie are the faces of their respective companies, Harrison is not. How Kaz is the face of Playstation over Phil baffles me.
