Microsoft Comments on DS vs. PSP Battle

geekboy_x writes "At the Halo launch event a senior Microsoft VP took time out to comment on the coming battle between the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP. In a nutshell, he thinks that Nintendo's domination of the handheld market will make this a rough go for Sony. He also, as is apparently required by Microsoft law, makes a candid yet derogatory comment about Linux." A more personal version of commentary made two days ago, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz.

    They say it was a pre-release version, but concidering IGN got theirs two weeks after, and the release is two weeks after that, that means Nintendo was manufacturing release versions at that time. If they fixed the bugs then that means they gave what they knew to be buggy units to geartest even though fixed ones exist. Not likely.
