This was when E3 was still alive and well. Makes me sad that we no longer have these moments. It was such an exciting time and I have such amazing memories of it. Guy always seemed very cool.

I don't think Peter had any say with the rrod fiasco, that was all from the higher ups. The higher ups knew there was a problem, but rushed it out anyway.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

This man told Yuji Naka to fuck off during a meeting in Tokyo while at Sega.
Legend, he made a success of Dreamcast in his region while it flopped badly in others.

A lot of people didn't take care if their consoles, I lost the amount of times I saw people putting their cable boxes or vcrs on top of their console and then wondering why it overheated

Since he left Xbox, the brand's decline began.

Also, he was the best boss SEGA America ever had, far better than the lying samurai prick Tom Kalinske

Back when Xbox leadership was actually good.

Gaming media is beginning to put interview segments into articles now.
So I'm posting this here instead of its own thread to keep discussion contained.

‘I did encourage the battle’: PlayStation vs Xbox console war was ‘healthy’ but has lost its feistiness, Peter Moore says | VGC

The Dreamcast is probably my favorite console of all time tbh.

I used to wrap my 360 in a towel - it was the accepted temporary fix for the RROD. Brought it back to life for a few weeks.
When that stopped working, I did another fix involving bolting the heatsink to the motherboard. And when that stopped working, I bought a new one and sold the corpse for parts on eBay.
Of course, not long after I'd done that, they announced the extended warranty for all RROD issues. Luckily my new 360 soon got the RROD as well.

The man is a walking W, and not just in gaming. Liverpool won their first league title in 30 years whilst he was there and he played his part in it.
If Xbox had any sense they'd fire Phil and get Peter back to try and generate some excitement in the brand again.

Unfortunately it was only for the 360. After he left, they brought in DEI hires and suits who knew nothing about gaming to run a gaming division.

The crazy part was how good the system was in that short run, it's still my favorite Xbox console.

It was the best console I'd ever had. I used to get every console available, but from the 360 onwards I stuck with Xbox, with sadly diminishing returns.
I couldn't imagine switching to a new 'ecosystem' now. When they stop making them, that'll be the end of my console-buying days.

I meant that will all the sincerity in the world. It made me chuckle which I thank you for.
