Australia.internet.com has a great two part interview with John De Margheriti, CEO of Micro Fort?. In the first part, John reveals why Micro Fort? went with Microsoft over Sony and Nintendo, and also talks about the MMOG market. The second part of the interview looks at their strategy for the future and their vision for Australia's Games Developers.
"Microsoft offered the best deal to us at the time. They had a clear online strategy, were interested in our MMOG project and pay on time! The Xbox is a fully featured device which makes it so much easier for us initially to develop an MMOG. We had looked at making our title on the PS2, but this was before they supported a hard drive and network card, so it is an unfair comparison. Its was simply an issue of timing. When we were ready, Microsoft was there. This is not to say we won't be supporting the PS2, and we are in fact looking at this right now."
