You can take Peter Moore out of Microsoft, but apparently you can’t take the Microsoft out of Peter Moore.
The former Xbox head and current president of EA Sports took a jab at Sony for continuous delays with its planned online community, Home.
Asked whether he would now work with Home given his new job, he quipped, “Yeah; I just wish it would ship.”
“I [previously] questioned it a little bit, whether I’d want to wander around there. Phil Harrison showed me a demo – it’s very cool, but let’s go already. And so I’m disappointed that it’s been pushed back a little bit again.”
His comments came barely a day after SCE head Kaz Hirai apologized for the ongoing delays while also defending the decision to give Home more time.
Even when throwing in a positive bone, Moore couldn’t resist returning to the same criticism.
“But I really hope it gets going and becomes that portal to the PlayStation Network and we can utilize it. But boy, I just wish we’d get going.”
