Following Sony's much-discussed PlayStation Home announcement earlier this week, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft𓄧's Chris Satchell has talked down the service saying that it's "not a very game-centric approach."

The general manager of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Game Developer Group told CVG this afternoon: "I think they've definitely taken some concepts that we originated like Achievements, but I think they'♎re pushing in a different direction and we've sort of fundamentally got two different approaches going on here."

"I think theirs is very mu💯ch a vision that people see it and it looks cool but it's fundamentally separate from the games - or at least what they've shown so far."

He continues: "It's a cool world but it's like a little game by itself. Our approach is the other💯 way around; it's that games are the center and that's th🌌e star of the show, that's what people buy the console for."

As for how Microsoft is going to answer Sony's user-generated content drive, Satchell says that Forza Motorsport 2 is already prepped to get 360 gamers creating: "You're able to take a car out, completely paint it, completely mod it, tune it and you're able to auction it online, take the funds from that and♊ reimburse them in the game to do whatever you want," he says. "That's great user-generated content. I🌞t's not building a world but if you're into racing games it's just as meaningful."

But even Microsoft can't resist LittleBigPlanet's wool-coated charm: "I think LittleBigPlanet is very cool," he says. "But I can't see a big portfolio of games at 🌜the moment that do this. I don't think there's a whole load to catch up."
