  • This generation of video game consoles has been about expanding experiences beyond just

  • playing games into broader areas of entertainment. Movie and TV show streaming are now common

  • uses of game consoles and many households, like my own, spend almost as much time watching

  • stuff on them as playing stuff.

  • But when Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 a few weeks ago, it positioned the system as

  • a straight up video game player. Apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime will presumably continue

  • to be available, but Sony’s focus appears to be on games.

  • Microsoft has been particularly vocal about how the Xbox 360 is the entertainment hub

  • of the living room this generation, and that it is about much more than just games. So

  • what does that mean for the next Xbox?

  • Jonathan Blow, the independent game developer behind Braid, revealed his new game The Witness,

  • at Sony’s PlayStation 4 event. And while it’s not a PS4 exclusive, it will be on

  • Sony’s platform first.

  • Speaking with Edge Online, Blow notes that the new, still-unannounced Xbox 360 successor

  • isnot strictly about games,” leading him to PlayStation 4 as a result.

  • Quote: “To me[,] they talk about a console that is not strictly about games. It’s trying

  • to be the [center] of the living room device, which is fine and maybe it’s the right thing

  • for Microsoft to do, business-wise. I don’t know; I actually don’t think it is, but

  • theyve certainly thought about it more than me!”

  • Blow then goes into his previous working relationship with Microsoft.

  • Quote: “I’ve had a bad time working with Microsoft in the past. Maybe not super bad,

  • but a moderately bad time in terms of business relationships. Other developers who are friends

  • of mine have had a horrible time, so the idea of signing up again with Microsoft isn’t

  • something I’d have ruled out, but there’s a certain amount of dread I have about doing

  • that again.”

  • He notes that he doesn’t “have that [feeling] with Sony.” But he goes on to say, “Who

  • knows, maybe itll turn out to be just as bad at the end! But I don’t think so.”

  • Microsoft is expected to unveil the next Xbox in April, so we should learn more about how

  • it is positioning the console at that time. Until then, stay tuned to IGN.
