Ok, I just finished watching the entire interview and have to say that a few of you were locked, loaded, and shooting before you listened to the entire interview.
He didnt appear to be drunk or on drugs like some of you have stated. It was a rather good interview IMO and he seemed to answer the questions without sidestepping anything. His "some players dont want to save games" seemed to be in response to the retard pack. Meaning that some people wouldnt be able to afford the 399 model and would rather pay 299 and then get a mem card later. I could be wrong, but thats how I took it.
He seemed to be very fair when talking about nintendo and sony as well. And his opinion on nintendo in general seemed to be right on. They dont seem to want to compete directly with sony and ms for your living room per say. Also, he didnt really take any shots at sony either. Just said he wished he had seen some games on the floor in playable form so he would have a better idea how ps3 and x360 games will compare.
I dont know, just seemed to be concerns that any business person would have in his situation.

that was actually pretty good. cross platform xbox live with emu on 360 vs xbox is pretty damn cool imo. i mean i guess it was a no brainer but i'd like to see how sony handles that one. as far as game saves go if u think about it there may be tons of GC and PS2 owners that have no memory cards.
I've been in an 45 minutes interview with Peter Moore at TGS. You may remember from my previous comments here that I'm far from being a fan of this guy, but I have to admit it was a great interview. I'll have a full transcript within a few days.
And yes, he also mentionned the "some people don't save" thing too.

How the hell would one track this? I mean you can't compare say the installed PS2 base with mem card sales as many buy multiple cards.
What butt is he pulling this from?

If he's repeatedly mentioning this something's wrong. I know there are "some people" and that's not entirely incorrect...but seriously EVERY early adopter knows what they are buying, know a bit about games, and plan to save.
It could be used to justify something later on down the road, when the console hits a mass market price. But as it stands, the only ones interested in the 360 are enthusiasts, not some folks who need to decorate their house with GameMachine(tm).

This is seriously the most immature console war thus far. Jesus Christ.
And that's why they'll be buying the retard pack.MidgarBlowedUp said:
I guess it does make sense that there are some people who only play multiplayer sports games with their friends and don't really need to save, but why would you bring this type of shit up in an interview? Are they embarassed of the $40 memory card or something? If you're embarassed of your $40 memory card and $100 HDD maybe you should lower the prices a little, not try to convince everyone that not saving your games is a norm. :lol Unless there's at least 15-20% of Gamecube/PS2 owners who don't own a memory card I really don't think he should be bringing this nonsense up.
One things for sure, not saving your games was certainly not a norm for Xbox owners cause that system came with 8 gigs of storage standard.
Other than that I thought it was semi-decent interview. He doesn't know enough of the technical aspects of the hardware to really give a credible assessment of that. He does confirm cross platform Live play between Xbox and Xbox 360 and he does make a commitment to backwards compatibility for all Xbox games. I think he's crazy if he thinks N3 is gonna do well in the Western world. I think he makes a good point about how impressive the global launch is and he's right about how important the 512MB of RAM was. That's very interesting that since 2003 they had decided they would be launching in 2005 and had told everyone in the business. I think he is right about how over 100 million people have grown up using a traditional game controller and feel it is very natural. Interesting to hear that he is spending a lot of time with Square Enix in Japan.
I think it's a slight PR mistake to put Peter Moore out front in center with the launch of your console. I'm sure he is very good at his job, but there's too much mixed history associated with this guy to have him speaking directly to the games media and to gamers.

Slightly related personal story here, when I got a Gamecube at launch the store was out of memory cards. So I sort of played a bit of Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race and Monkey Ball but I didn't really get into them because of lack of card. I put it off, and then Smash Bros. came out. I purchased that game, and forgot I still didn't have a memory card. But I was so into Smash Bros. that I had kept the system on and on until I got almost every single thing in the game. For over a week I left the GC on. So finally I had to save my file, and I ran to the store to buy a card so I can finally save the game.
Can you guess the end of this story?

What Peter Moore says has NOTHING to do with how much I will enjoy the XBOX360.
