i think Microsoft will be even stronger in the Gaming industry now, soon Microsoft will be the Leading Brand, Bill Gates has plenty of Money to do it with too, BUT THATS JUST ME

VaeVictus yes i do cause if you keep thinking the Red Rings of Death is really that common you obviously have never had a 360, because i have had my 360 since launch and yet i never had a Problem with it so this little problem with the Design not the Hardware are Minor, SONY IS STILL GETTING BEAT BY NINTENDO AND MICROSOFT and still you Sony FANTARDS shoot your mouth off

Note: Sony FANTARDS may i remind you who your a Fan of LMFAO!!! (Watch Video)

There is one thing that gets me about the 360 THREE RED LIGHT problem. Is Xbox NOT being able to talk about it. I mean come on is it that hard to say what's wrong or is it that BAD to say what's wrong with it. Because everyone knows there's a problem. I just want to know what it is????? I'm sorry I don't like being told my 360 might crash and nobody we'll tell me WHY. TO ME THAT'S HIDING SOMRTHING THAT I FEEL I NEED TO KNOW...............

i hope it doesn't hurt MS/360.

i always liked him - but not the last days where he had nothing else to do but bashing Sony.

EA spent their money very well.

hope he enjoys hes time at EA i think it was a bad corrier choise to leave MS especially when u have such a high position there.

madden exclusive for the 360!

Moore has had the Sony thorn in his paw since I can remember.This will affect the PS3 negatively whether you believe it or not.Just wait......
......................you Sony guys know how to do that.

Some of you fanboys are funny. it was moore's job to bad mouth his competition when he was working at microsoft. Now that he works at EA he doesnt care about working with sony. some of you fanboys are funny, it is all business.

Hope M$ learns their lesson but if they like wasting their money I'll take some! 8D

Big talk from someone who jumped ship. What a BEEEiiitch.

Looking at all the recent news that've been released, it seems that there's an internal power struggle going on inside the Microsoft Entertainment and Gaming Division right right now.

im wondering if microsoft kinda pushed moore out the door. they probably needed a scapegoat for the 1 billion dollar red ring. i wonder if they forced it on him and got rid of him to save face. alot of times when something goes wronge in big companies, they put it on one person to make it look they they are changing things around. im not sure this is the case here, but i have heard of things like this.

what is his position again? why pay so much money for someone that bashing a wrong console??? let see what he can do on EA

If just EA spends as many money in develop games as they do paying executives, maybe they can do something better than FIFA... ¬¬

I just can hope that in EA, don't matter if for himself or for EA work-way, Peter can do better when asked about their games and strategies than bash Konami and 2K Sports...

why is this dude still talking....their is a reason you resigned!!

I am waiting for the day when Peter will come for EA on stage during one of Sony's events. It will be something to watch.

Key statistics for Sony vs. Microsoft - 2006 fiscal year:

Sony: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/...
-Market Cap = US 51.65 Billion
-Revenue = US 67.78 Billion
-Profit = US 15.86 Billion <= this matters more than revenue
-Debt = US 8.96 Billion (a large chunk of Sony's revenue goes to refinance debts and making interest payments every year.)
-Cash = US 4.30 Billion

Compared to:

Microsoft: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/...
-Market Cap = US 295.81 Billion (6 times of Sony!)
-Revenue = US $44.28 Billion
-Profit = US 36.63 Billion <= this matters more than revenue
-Debt = US 0 (No debt!)
-Cash = US 25.48 Billion (Do you see how much cash Microsoft has?)

The thing is; when EA ports a game to the PS3 they do the least coding they have to to get it onto the platform. Thus making it a doodoo game.

Hang yourself.

You stupid rustsearch cuntgreaser.

Do you just type in market shares? Like do you even temper your post with moderate intelligence? I'm no Harvard grad but let me just make a speculation here.

So.....

The 360 was released a year and some change ago correct? Thus giving them a considerable headstart on the "next-gen" market share. A temporary monopoly do to the enormous success of the amazing title gears of war and third part non-exclusives such as Oblivion, Condemned, so forth so on. Now then;

By default since they've had time to make nothing but money off of their sales and are only facing competetors market sales until very recently well.......I don't even know why I need to explain this really I mean it's not exactly like I look down at my wang and am stunned when there's a tent from the pornsnax. =/

For the Droids who live in a fantasy world and think thier sh!t don't stink. Electronic produts "Droids" are never 100% just as Sony with it's batteries and burned out disc drives for the PS2. If you can name "one" electronic product with 100% success rate I'll eat my own sh!t.

“In our lives we say we’re going to be in a certain place a year from now in a lot of stuff— weight, fitness, quality of marriage—and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.” Truth

He is right about PC being unorganized, and in a decline. Hate it all you want PC fans but I'm a PC fan to and I know it's true.

"Many people expected that Microsoft would cut the price of the Xbox 360 last week. Despite expectations, that didn’t happen. “I expect my hair to grow back, but things just don’t happen because I want them to,” Moore says. He adds that Xbox 360 is in a leadership position, and with that position comes the luxury of not having to react to what competitors do, including Sony." LOL SNAP!

"That is evidenced by the sales of the PlayStation 3. I’m feeling that the publicity around the pricing adjustment is going to drive some sales but Sony’s tracking 20,000 PS3s a week, which is not very good…. We’re doing somewhere in the region of double to two-and-a-half times that.” OUCH! I Quoted all this just incase Droids refuse to read the interview.

LOL O NOEZ! Sum1 awn du N4G forums doesnt like my attitude :[ I guess I won't be getting an invitation to their birthday! Dude I heard it was gonna be megatight yo, there was gonna be pin the tail on a farm animal.

No.

No they are NOT valid and yes yes I am well aware that it is NOT the ps3 or 360 sales you spunklick. If it was the individual sales then it would say ps3 or 360.

Microsoft does more than produce xbox cuntknock, as does sony, but sony on the other hand had to cut its profits by making a 1k machine as oppose to a peice of dookiesnax 77% failure rate console.

Bro I'm so sorry you don't like my attitude, gosh darn it im just gonna walk away because I cant handle the leet.

AAAAH ITS TOO MUCH, I CANT HANDLE IT AAAAAH MY FACE! :[

Oh wait it turns out I'm fine. NO ONE MAKES MONEY OFF OF A SYSTEM TURDRINGER YOU MAKE MONEY OFF OF LICESNSING AND ROYALTIES WTF Jeeeeesus just walk away rofl just walk away bro, its cool if you cant handle it just walk away. Go back to school.

Lets revamp your post ok here goes

I don't like your attitude.(LOOOL O NOEZ) Not Sony nor Microsoft have began making profit off the next-gen systems. (They never will, their games draw income.) This means that although Microsoft had a head start, they still not benefiting from it.(O RLY?????) The PS2 was way more profitable than the Xbox so that pretty much overrides the Xbox360 head start. (No nubstick, it doesn't. Microsoft produces a little thing called Windows? Maybe you're using it?) Those figures that ktchong gave is for the company as a whole and not only the games division. (YOU SIR ARE A MASTER OF OBSERVATION, JOIN YOUR LOCAL POLICE DETECTIVE SERVICES.) There is nothing wrong with those figures that ktchong gave.(Except they're a year ago?) If you can't handle it, just walk away.(Aight you're right, I'm gonna go play DotA, later toolbag,) =/ <Mad props on the emocon, nice touch.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
