According to the Xbox Store, the instant indie collection is the perfect way to experience indie on Playstation
“The Instant Indie Collection is being designed to allow new console owners to easily discover games they may have missed on original release,” says Jason Perkins, managing director, Curve Digital. “Whilst Volume One is all about puzzle platforms, we intend to ensure that each collection keeps things fresh, aiming to cover multiple genres where we can. They will all have one thing in common, though – and that’s a ridiculously competitive price.”

Although all titles have been available for both consoles, someone over at Microsoft clearly didn’t get enough sleep as he or she has described the collection as ‘the perfect way to experience indie on Playstation’.

Now we understand that the differences between both consoles is minuscule, but putting down the name of your rival’s console is kind of suicide. Perhaps the Microsoft employee read the article on Microsoft’s Spencer disagreeing with the ‘console wars’ and decided to help Sony out a bit. Luckily for him or she, the ‘kind gesture’ wasn’t made with an upcoming Xbox One exclusive like Halo 5: Guardians.

, The ‘typo’ seems to have affected both the German and Dutch Xbox store. Check out some shots of the ‘mistake’ above. Although the language is in German and Dutch, you can clearly discern the name ‘Playstation’ in the description.

Xbox store description claims game is "suitable for Playstation Move" - more Microsoft blunders


A mistake on the Xbox store was recently highlighted, in which the newly announced ‘Instant Indie Collection’ for Xbox One was described as the perfect way to experience ‘Indie’ on Playstation.

It turns out this isn't Xbox's first run with lazy store descriptions that seem to retain Playstation-specific selling points. For instance we've been made aware of this description for the demo of Just Dance 2016 (full game due out in October 2015):

"De Just Dance 2016-demo is ook geschikt voor Playstation®Move & Playstation®Camera voor maximaal 4 spelers."

Translating from Dutch, this is Microsoft's store telling us that the Just Dance 2016 demo "is also suitable for PlayStation®Move & Playstation®Camera for up to four players."

This would be a huge departure from MS's Kinect-focused strategy if true, but as far as we're aware, the Xbox One has zero compatibility with Playstation Move controllers.

With accidental shout-outs to Playstation becoming more frequent on the Xbox store, we recommend Microsoft invest in a word-filter, or perhaps an app that makes sure their employees aren't half-asleep when they post content on the store.

The Just Dance 2016 error is on ubisoft, Microsoft should have probably double checked that though...looks bad.
