Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, has pronounced himself on the development of next-generation games. Speaking to Boomtown, Kojima discussed Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 development, saying:
"My impression is, for PS3, Sony is aiming for a very high level. Im not sure if everyone can live up to that high standard that Sony is expecting. So if everyone is expected to meet that high level, I am not sure that every creator, every publisher will be able to meet these high expectations. For Xbox 360, its a little bit more down to earth, more realistic so people maybe can join easily to start creating on the 360."
Hideo Kojima's masterpiece, the Metal Gear Solid (MGS) series, is highly acclaimed worldwide, with its breathtaking graphics, profound stories, intricate human drama, original game design and superlative gameplay.
Kojima also compared the three next-generation consoles from MS, Nintendo and Sony, making an analogy with dinners.
"Xbox 360 will still be a special dinner so you might go there two or three times a month on the weekend or something. Revolution is the kind of great dinner that you have everyday at your home. What I want to emphasize is that all three are dinners meaning that they have a salad, they have a soup and maybe have a dessert but they are a little differently, maybe other dinners have two salads or two appetizers or maybe extra coffee on top of that. The point is that they are all individualistic dinners. So if they are all dinners, like a steak dinner, the choice is up to the users and the game designers at the same time."
There is nothing in there about "doubts" or Kojima even remotely saying that Xbox is better than Playstation. Team Xbox just made up a headline based on pure fanboyism.
Then Xbox-Scene compounded the fanboyism by cut-and-pasting tiny-tiny-tiny snippets to make it look like Kojima actually said something somewhat resembling the Team Xbox headline. It's been a long time since I've seen spin like this, even on political sites.
You could have just posted a link to the Interview itself, along with a brief comment like "Hideo Kojima gives his opinion on next-gen consoles." He mentions Xbox 360, so it's newsworthy, and that's enough. There's no need to proselytize and propagandize.
