Guys do you honestly think someone who works for Microsoft is going to outwardly say
"Yeah I love the sound of Nintendo's online service I cant wait to play OOT again"
Put simply, no he is not. It's this mans job to push Live arcade, hell thats his specialised area, he is saying these things because to his department the Revolution virtual console is the big rival and they have to be worried. So please, don't take it literally when a Microsoft representitive talks about how great Microsoft are and everyone else isn't.
Please go outside and find the largest hole you can find and try to fly over it.
