XBox 360So, you've seen all the new consoles, heard the rumours, the speculation and indeed the hype. Well now here comes the battle of words. Recently, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kazuo Hirai branded the XBox 360 a combination of todays technology that wasn't future-proofed.

Well now it's time for J. Allard to speak out and refute those claims. Allard is currently responsible for driving the Xbox 360 into the HD Era, according to Microsoft and is the driving force behind the development of the next-gen Xbox.

Gamesindustry.biz have scored an interview with the much sought after Microsoft heavyweight in which he discusses games, the potential of the Xbox 360, what he sees happening in the years ahead and the response the Xbox 360 has received so far.

It's interesting. Why have you not made those Xbox/PC titles like Call Of Duty 2, Quake 4 exclusive to Xbox 360?

I always get back to the gamers. Every decision we make is really focused on what the gamers want. A ton of our gamers are dual gamers meaning that they have PC and console because they prefer some aspects of PC, especially in FPSs. Okay, should we really make Quake an exclusive that you can't play on PC.
