http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2008/05/leapfroglogoftw.jpg (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/microsoft-user-created-games-will-help-us-leapfrog-wiiware-and-psn)In the same interview that brought word of the 350MB XBLA restriction increase (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/20/xbla-file-size-limit-increases-to-350mb/), Microsoft's David Edery wanted to make it known that the Xbox Live Arcade is where it's at and thinks that it will "leapfrog" the competition with the user-created XNA roll-out (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/20/gdc08-microsoft-brings-xna-together-with-live/) later this year.
Speaking about both Nintendo's WiiWare and Sony's PSN, Edery mentioned (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/microsoft-user-created-games-will-help-us-leapfrog-wiiware-and-psn) that XBLA's XNA component "from an innovation perspective it's going to help us leapfrog the competition, effectively until they find a way to duplicate it, assuming they ever do." Zing! Zing! Zing! But before we begin the mudslinging, we have a bunch of questions that need to be answered. Questions like: Can user-created XNA content releasing to the XBLA differentiate it from what Nintendo and Sony are doing? Will it be easy to use and navigate? Will the XNA integration actually happen in 2008? Will it rain today? We can only hope our mountain of questions will be answered soon ...
