Aaron Greenberg, Xbox product director, has laid the smackdown on any hopes for a 360 web browser feature.
Speaking to EDGE Magazine, Greenberg stated:
“No. We really believe that the web browsing experience on TV is a poor one, and the real magic is to take those web experiences and optimise them for the living room. That’s what we did with Netflix. So, sure, you can go on the PS3 and go to Facebook and try to navigate, but it’s an absolute nightmare.”
”No disrespect, there’s things I love about the PS3, but that’s not one of them. We want the online experience to be fun and optimised for the living room, and we’ll continue to add more applications to get more richness.”
Well… that settles that then.
