During the GamesBeat Summit the Unity chief and former boss of Electronic Arts, John Riccitiello, has said that Microsoft wasn't focused enough and didn't care enough for gamers.
Sony, on the other hand, put the gamer in the centre. That's why, in his opinion, they deserve to win the console battle between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
"There was a clash of ideas that really separated Sony and Microsoft. They actually had very similar architecture that they were trying to bring to the table. But Microsoft focused ... a lot on entertainment beyond gaming. Microsoft was trying to [compete against] Apple. They didn't feel gaming was big enough to justify the pent-up desire ... to have the recognition they wanted as an innovator," Riccitiello said.
"Sony focused on the shot they needed to make, which was win the hearts and minds of the gamer. The broader scope of entertainment might be a bigger idea, but not with an unfocused execution. A tight execution on the 50 million people that matter, which are the people currently lapping up consoles ... Sony fucking nailed it, and they deserve the victory."
