PWNED! Molyneux v. Greenberg



For all of you who are into Kinect check this out.



At an interview with ABC, Aaron Greenberg from Microsoft, stated that Milo was just a demo and no future game was in development or expecting to be released. So according to him, what we saw Milo was all about with Kinect at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) would never be at gamer's reach. Along with it's absence from this year's E3 Greenberg's declaration seemed to be truth until Molyneux spoke.

Peter Molyneux (yep, the one from Black & White) told everyone that Greenberg was wrong and that Milo is really going to be a future game released for Xbox 360 developed specially for using with Kinect. Greenberg being in the PR area of Microsoft and not knowing what's going on in the company makes him the winner of this blog's first PWNED.

This fact speaks of lack of internal communication or conflicts between departments. It is very risky to let someone talk to an audience and make official declarations when they are not sure about it. This is specially dangerous when competition is very hard in the industry and it becomes even a bigger mistake when realizing that this video game generation is having breakthroughs that are bringing down some factors that used to be constant within the video gaming world.

Final result: Peter Molyneux PWNED Aaron Greenberg.
