I just want them to hurry up and unveil the box. The speculation is turning more negative every day. It's actually kind of funny observing the negative attitude begin to build. There seems to be a mild paranoia setting in. If microsoft continues to talk about casuals and expanding the market --this should be taken as the leak we've all been waiting for lol.

Sony is pretty much all about software, so I can't take a shot at them for that.

Yes, Microsoft the company that has been building software for decades and has all sorts of development tools, isn't about software.  Yes, the company whose first product was a 4K BASIC ROM, isn't about software.  Yes, the company who created MS-DOS for the IBM PC, the OS that ran on millions of computers, isn't about software.  Yes, the company who created MS Word and MS Excel before they even had their own OS to run it on, isn't about software.  Yes, the company that has given away development tools with it's OS since day one, isn't about software.  Yes, the only console maker to allow indie game development on its closed-system home gaming console, isn't about software.

So what other bullshit ideas do you have?

If he's referring to game content, then I'm not sure your rebuttal stands.

(also what is this about indie game development only on xbox?)

Playstation seems to have gravitated more towards game content over this gen, and MS has gravitated more towards services.
