Phil Spencer was asked this, very provocative question:

"You've talked previously about how proud you are about how Microsoft Studios has grown with a diverse lineup, but many people have characterized Sony's studio system as being stronger in that regard. Do you feel that that's an unfair comparison at this point considering the array of content you have?"

He gave an incredibly diplomatic answer, and one that -based on this year's E3 at least, isn't really spin at all.

He also didn't mention Sony at all. The only time he DID mention a Sony property was to praise Uncharted and the Last Guardian.

All in all, we could only hope that Phil and other company's gaming management would be this fair-minded and reasonable all the time.

Lol come on, lets be real.

“When I watch the other platforms, it’s not always clear to me when the games are shipping or how many of them are shipping this year.”

It was so obvious that he was talking about Sony's conference. Just because he didn't mention Sony, doesn't mean he wasn't talking about them.

Of course - though others were saying he specifically referred to Sony - he did not.

And even so, thats an entirely reasonable interpretation is it not? Sony makes a lot of really good games, but they are notoriously useless when it comes to delays and early announcements.

Again, an entirely reasonable and uncontroversial response to the question by PR standards.
