Microsoft "Absolutely" Wouldn't Want to Swap Positions With Sony

Microsoft "Absolutely" Wouldn't Want to Swap Positions With Sony

Following Sony's not-so-veiled shot at Microsoft (and Nintendo) with its price comparison chart last week, Microsoft has responded with a fairly cool-headed response. Speaking at CES, Microsoft's Xbox 360 group product manager, Aaron Greenberg, took a less offensive approach by saying, "I would rather talk about why you should buy our console than why you shouldn't buy the competitor's system."

Sony believes -- or at least wants prospective consumers to believe -- that Microsoft is "peddling add-ons," but Greenberg thinks that having the lowest price on the market for a current-gen console was a big win for the 360.

"I would say we absolutely would not want to trade places with Sony," he told Kotaku. "We feel like being half the price of the PS3 served us quite well this holiday."

Next Street Fighter Club Coming To San Francisco January 16

Capcom has been pretty quiet about its Street Fighter Club events until now. But with Street Fighter 4 only a month away, it looks like they've gone a bit more public.

The next Street Fighter Club is being advertising over on Capcom-Unity for Friday, January 16 between 8 pm and 12 am. Only fans eighteen and over are eligible to attend (the kids need their sleep, you know), and the event is invitation only.

So if you're in San Francisco, you're probably wondering, "So if it's invite only, how do I get an invite?" Just send a message with your real name to the email address listed on the site, and it sounds like you're in for a night of Street Fighter 4 goodness. And if you do get in, feel free to post here. We'd love to know how it went.
