We'll ease off the television jibes

The console war isn’t all about competition. The likes of Sony and Microsoft can also learn from each other, and in a refreshingly complimentary comment, Microsoft Studios’ corporate vice president Phil Spencer has revealed that he feels that the PlayStation maker is doing a “nice job” of building content for its digital marketplace.

“I think that Sony’s done a nice job of this,” he said in an interview with OXM regarding downloadable titles. “Journey was a fantastic game. I thought that they did a really nice job, and, you know, as a portfolio manager, it’s my job to figure out what [we're] going to focus on.”

There’s no sign of the Japanese giant slowing down in this department with the PlayStation 4, as the firm has already revealed digital endeavours such as Hohokum, Doki-Doki Universe, and The Witness. Still, it’s nice to hear a company executive actually acknowledge a competitor in a non-confrontational manner.
