Could be fake, but.... (XB1 engineer talks)

Is there a link for this? Where did you find it?

Anyway.

"Publishers have enourmous power. Microsoft is trying to balance between consumer delight, and publisher wishes. If we cave to far in either direction you have a non-starting product. WiiU goes too far to consumer, you have no 3rd party support to shake a stick at. PS4 is status-quo. XB1 is trying to push some things, at the expense of others. We have a vision, we'll see if it works in the coming years"

That part is most interesting. He talks about caving in to one side more than the other means you have a non-starting product, but then he says the PS4 is sat in a perfect position and they are essentially pushing things for publishers. He essentially says that they have a non-starting product with Xbox One.

If this turns out to be legit, its a great find.

I read PS4 as 'status quo,' which is far from perfect.  Where are you getting 'perfect position?'

Status quo isnt far from perfect, because its where they are now. They have consumer trust and they have devs on board.

How isnt the status quo perfect?

Also still waiting for the source for this.
