Predictably, the arrogant and disrespectful of Microsoft Studios Creative Director Adam Orth has forced the House of Redmond to intervene officially on the issue. Nothing was said about next-gen, but Major Nelson has posted a brief statement of apology.

The statement read: " sorry for the inappropriate comments made by an employee yesterday on Twitter. This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal vision does not reflect the customer-centric approach that we take in our products or how we comunicheremmo directly with our consumers. We are very sorry to anyone who was offended, however we have not made any announcement about our future products, and we have no further comment. "

One thing is sure: vista la bufera that those comments have sparked in users around the world, we know now for a fact that the introduction of a system always online is something badly seen by its own users. If their plans were these, we hope that the affair has played as a wake-up call to the upper echelons.
