In this interview with the UK's Official Xbox Magazine, Xbox General Manager Shane Kim holds forth on
the upcoming title Viva
Piñata while casually dropping in a few words on the PS3's November launch. Kim believes Viva
Piñata to be a killer title for the 360, saying that he thinks "that families will buy an Xbox 360
because they want to play [it]", also saying that Microsoft will talk about future Halo plans "at
the right time".On the PS3 launch, Kim was clear: "For us, it doesn’t change anything. We’ve had a very clear strategy for a long time now and we’re not going to change that. We’re not going to react to anything that they do." Entirely in line with a second official reaction over at Microsoft's gamerscore blog which claims that the "announcement certainly doesn’t change any of our plans."
A lot of reassurances that things are the same as ever over in Xbox land, then; perhaps Nintendo will follow the crowd and post their entirely bland canned response to a competitor's plans next.
