Robbie Bach, president of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, has thrown down the gauntlet to Sony's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation Network, insisting that Xbox Live has "no rivals."

Speaking to the LA Times, Bach said that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft was years ahead of its 🌠rivals when it came to onli🐼ne gaming and downloadable media: "It's fair to say that Xbox Live is clearly head and shoulders above anything anyone else has tried to do.

"We don't have competition. Sony has done some things online, but nothing that can be called a service. We have a ꧃big advantage and we're going to keep pressing that advantage."

Xbox Live recently celebrated its fifth birthday and currently boasts eight million subscribers worldwide. As well as game content, movies and television shows are planned to澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:arrive shortlyvia Films on Demand.

In comparison, Sony's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation Network has three☂ million subscribers -ꦚthough it should be noted that the PS3's online service carries no subscription fee whatsoever.

"Demographically, when we started, you would say th💙at it was a place for serious gamers. That has changed a lot in the last five years," Bach continued. "It's now become a great place for casual gamers. When one of your leading games is Uno, you realize you've reached a new type of customer.

"Secondly, it's expanded from being a gaming service to an entertainment s🌌ervice with a social network. We have now expanded into the world of movies and TV shows. It's become a much broader place for people to experience entertainment.

"We have a broad, long-term vision for connected ent♒ertainment across all platforms. T💝hat includes music, video, television and gaming. You're going to see pieces of that roll out over time."

However, Bach said that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft isn't ready to talk specifics just yet.
