Sure. And I also know that this particular story is not really all that profound. Regardless, I stand by my explanation of why his response (and anyone else's response of a similar format/nature) was/is/can be a little irksome.

Nothing wrong with your answer, i am just saying, you need to see it in his own eyes, this wasn't a gaming event, he just made an appearance on a random show due to him being stuck in NZ for months, and if the question wasn't asked, he would have never of said anything. He used a smart answer to avoid anything coming back to bite him in the arse in case he said something out of line or false by mistake etc. So he just kept it simple. That's how i see it anyway. He also admitted he has no stake with either company. His a pure PC Elitist and most likely doesn't care what anyone thinks of him or his answer.

He is a public figure, relevant to console gaming, during a new gen, short after reveal of the consoles with everyone asking about the new consoles... let's not pretend when he accepted the invitation to be "interviewed" he didn't expect it to be questioned, nor that if he didn't want to talk about it he couldn't cut it on the first question, or on the second, he chose the replies he wanted deliberately.
