TGS 08: Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida Thinks New Xbox Experience “Is Quite Nice”

Sony Computer Entertainment’s Shuhei Yoshida made an appearance at this year’s Tokyo Game Show as one would expect he would. He was there generally representing Sony, but checking out the competition as well.
What’s interesting about Yoshida is instead of bashing on his company’s competitors, he prefers to compliment them instead.
When asked about his feelings on the Xbox 360’s upcoming dashboard revamp, labeled as the New Xbox Experience (NXE), Yoshida responded:
“Yes, I’ve seen the videos, some screenshots and write-ups. I think it’s quite nice. I like the Avatar designs they’re working on.”
He said that the Avatar’s are a “little bit older-looking” than Mii’s when asked if he had noticed a similarity. However, Microsoft’s Avatars are “closer to [Yoshida's] personal preference”.
Hey, at least he’s a nice guy.

It’s called HOME on Sonys console although I wouldn’t worry as it seems it will never be released.
