Atari founder Nolan Bushnell bullish on Xbox 720, saying Microsoft's "strong software tools" will allow devs to make compelling software faster than on PS4.
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell has chosen Microsoft to emerge victorious against Sony in the next-generation console race. Speaking on GameTrailers' Rollin' With Nolan, the industry veteran claimed Sony will be held back by "lame" and difficult-to-understand software tools.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S via the EpiXR Game team, Aery - Cyber City is the latest addition to the series.
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher JanduSoft and indie games developer Juan-Mod, are today very glad and proud to announce that their 3D arcade action-platformer "Teared", is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
So he's pretty much putting it on good faith, since Sony with all three consoles have made tools that are much easier for Japanese than American developers to follow.
Isn't that in a way kind of a very tiny factor to base who will "win" next gen? I mean looking at this and last gen, studios still developed for both platform. I understand that the PS3 had development issues, but sounds like the PS4 is a walk in the park in comparison.
Software tools will be easy to learn after the first year, heck even today the PS3 isn't called doubt as much by developers for tough development as it was before.

I said as much, I remember left and right we had stories of developers saying how bad it was to develop for.
The xbox 720 will have a PC structure, least it should. My comment was only pointing out that easier development tools shouldn't really matter this time around, it'll have a small effect if anything. Multiplatform devs will still develop multiplat games.
Basically he's trying to suggest that the American sales markets equals the world. Like nothing else matters, not even bringing up the fact that Microsoft have never done well in Japan.
If MS don't unveil anything this month and Sony has that full unveil press conference guess what? MS is going to be in bigger trouble by E3.
Disagree all you want but it's the truth
