While Sony showed off their own "Smash Bros"-like game at E3, Microsoft states they have no interest in making one nor would they even consider making one any time soon.

Phil Spencer, boss of Microsoft's game studios, made the official announcement during an interview with Kotaku.

Quote:
Was this a confirmation that it was in development? No. The opposite. "You do not want that game," Spencer said. "Have you played the [PlayStation] All-Stars?"
He stated Microsoft's priority with their studios is not to make games that would compete against each other or to rush developing games to fill in multiple genres for the sake of diversity if it comes at the cost of potential sales revenue.

Quote:
"I'm not going to take a shot at Sony first-party [game development]," Spencer said, "I think they do some great games. We're going to try to build games that actually create new opportunity on our platform. I don't really need to go and fill genres with the teams that we have. I don't compete with games that are already on my platform. Sure, all games on some level compete for a dollar bill, but for us it's really going to be to try to innovate. I haven't played the game, so I'm not saying it's not innovative, but..."
