Steve Ballmer (yes Monkeyboy) becomes the latest Microsoft executive to jump on the Xbox2 bandwagon...
During a recent event for minority high-school students, Steve Ballmer Microsoft CEO, became the latest executive to jump on the Xbox2 bandwagon, proclaiming its greatness to an eager audience.
Never one to shy away from questions or delivering his opinion, Ballmer answered a series of questions from the students, beginning with:
"When you see the new Xbox, you're going to think it's un -- well, let me say it politely -- unbelievable. Just unbelievable. The graphics, what it can do, the way things look, huge innovation. Rumors are that we'll see that product sometime soon. I couldn't comment, of course, on those rumors. But it's an amazing, amazing innovation."
When a student later enquired as to how Microsoft will combat Sony and Nintendo in the next-gen battle, an excitable (yes Monkeyboy) Ballmer proclaimed "I think weāre going to blow by Sony with our next box. I absolutely think weāre going to kick their backsides, so to speak. I think Xbox 1 has been a fantastic product. Weāre not market leaders yet. Thereās Sony, thereās us, thereās Nintendo. When we get Xbox 2 in the market, thereās going to be Xbox and the other guys," adding "I'm feeling a little frisky on this topic right now!"
Taking time to control his excitement for a couple of minutes, when asked specifically about the games, Ballmer did refer back to the age-old videogame proverb āThat itās all about the games,ā concluding with:
"Why do people buy one game console over another? As we say around here, 'Duh, it's the games.' ... Partly they're great games because they have great graphics, they have great processing, they have great this, they've got great that, but it's about getting great games. So, there's two parts to that: Number one, we have to make sure we have a great environment, software environment for people to write games, games that connect to one another, games that are social, games that are hard-core. We've got to make sure we let people write great games. But then, number two, we, Microsoft, have to write a number of really great games to show it off. What is 'Halo 2?' It's the greatest video game ever written. It shows off Xbox 1, and weāve got some more games coming that will be the greatest video games ever written, and theyāll show off Xbox 2."
Concluding with "Thereās probably a more humble way to say what I just said, but Iām all worked up."
Quite right Steve but we love you for it; weāll have more information on Xbox2 soon.
