Sony's Peter Dille talks in-game XMB

In a recent interview with Game Informer, Peter Dille, Sony's Senior VP of Marketing, discussed a number of topics regarding the PlayStation 3. While Sony's current place in the console market, exclusive PS3 titles and more may interest gamers, the one you're all dying to hear was indeed included.

While responding to a question about firmware updates, Dille wandered onto the topic of in-game XMB himself:

"As far as in-game XMB access, we know it's a feature that's important to our consumers. Because PS3 packs so much advanced technology 'under the hood,' it takes some time to implement major, new functionalities, but we are working hard on addressing this feature, as well as continually expand the capabilities and functionalities of PS3."

There you have it - they're working on it, and it IS coming at some point in the future. It's been pretty clear that gamers want it, and it seems that they'll eventually receive it. The last question we have is when. More on this controversial topic soon. heres the link: http://www.psu.com/Sonys-Peter-Dille-talks-in-game-XMB--a0002074-p0.php

Thats it, keep your mouth shut on the date until you have an exact date.
DO NOT give out a date without it being written in stone!

Give a date and then not delivering would bring on WW3 here on n4g.

mccomber6724d ago

if the past firmware updates are any indication, the internet will give it a date and then erupt all on it's own if it's not met. Remember the 2.0 backlash because of what people "expected" to be in the update?

tethered6724d ago

Yes, true. Sadly, I do remember that.

+1 for keeping me grounded. lol

TrevorPhillips6724d ago

PirateThom6724d ago

I think he was talking to Dille for not giving a date for XMB.

tethered6724d ago (Edited 6724d ago )

Haha!
That was funny.
By the way, great find even though he didn't give a date.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
