News > Moore Admits MS Failings, Says Sony Is Worse
July 17, 2007
In a recent interview, Microsoft VP Peter Moore admitted to the lackluster performance of the Xbox 360 in Japan. On top of that, however, he claimed that Sony is doing even worse.
"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling. I built a business plan [for Japan], but I don't think my expectations in Japan were anything close to what Sony's expectations are. They are failing. They're missing their plan by much more than I'm missing my plan."
Those are some pretty harsh words from Mr. Peter "always-ready-to-trash-talk" Moore, but I guess he has a point. Sony has built their business, to a large degree, around Japan - they are a Japanese company. Microsoft has never fared well in the Japanese market, and never expected to be leaving a trail of retail receipts behind them in the land of the rising sun, anyway.
