David Jaffe responds to angry Xbox 360 owners

Eat Sleep Play’s David Jaffe has got himself in to a bit of a scuffle with fellow Xbox 360 fans on gaming blog Destructoid this week, after previously making it clear that his loyalties remain very much aligned with camp Sony.

"The only thing we’d love more than getting [Twisted Metal] out there to as many players as possible — via putting it on new systems — is to continue helping Sony differentiate their box from other boxes," said Jaffe.

However, Xbox 360 owners quickly flocked to the comments section and poured scorn over the Twisted Metal creator for his views, prompting Jaffe to take up arms (or at least the Internet equivalent, i.e. hopping on Twitter) and defend his comments.

Unsurprisingly, Jaffe didn’t mince his words, offering: "Holy f**k, Destructoid Xbox only owners out in full force against me. WTF? I can’t have an opinion? It’s not that we would not LOVE to have our games in every home in the world…even the ones w/out electricity. F**k it- we don’t care! It’s just that we value our relationship with Sony very, very much. They give us extra time to make the game great, lots of creative and marketing and business support. And we like the people over there tons; they are like family. Why is it so hard to understand we’d like 2 stay in that kind of working relationship?"

Jaffe is currently busy chiselling away on a brand-new Twisted Metal game for PS3, which is due to hit shops next year.
