Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said that he’s been talking to Sony, Nintendo and other companies about keeping gaming networks stable in the face of DDoS attacks and other malicious activity.
Speaking to GameInformer, Spencer said nobody benefits when a rival network goes down.
“I don’t think it’s great when PSN goes down. It doesn’t help me,” he said.
“All it does is put the fear and distrust from any gamer that’s out there, so I look at all of us together as this is our collective opportunity to share what we can about what we’re learning and how things are growing.
“Those conversations happen, which I think is great.”
Spencer said Microsoft is committed to making sure Xbox Live is “robust and reliable” as well as secure, and thanked Xbox Live members for their patience during the holiday downtimes.
