Sony: We have the best games line-up

‘The competition is weaker than PS3’, agrees European boss Reeves

SCEE President David Reeves has joined the debate over who ‘won’ E3 – stating that the platform holder is in confident mood after SCEA boss Jack Tretton took to the stage at the LA Expo last week.

“I think from what Jack Tretton said, the reaction has been well summarised by Yahoo, who said that in terms of games, the competition have probably got a slightly weaker line–up than PS3,” he told MCV.

“And we obviously agree with that – we think we’ve got title after title after title, not only first party but third party and I think in America they have the advantage of the video downloads service, which came at exactly the right time. “We’re confident, but not only that we’re confident about the games industry more than anything else. What we should be celebrating is how well the games industry is doing compared to other industries in the last nine months with the current recession worldwide. More and more people are coming in – it’s astounding.”

:hmmm: Sony really do have the wrong attitude this generation!

Gamers: Sony's on crack!

[Coldgunner]

I've not kept track of whats upcoming for the 360, but PS3's line-up is certainly more promising than the Wii. As we all know, what defines a good game is subjective to the player, this is just Reeves doing the whole salesman thing.

[Sethos]

God, they are an embarrassment.

I have to disagree. The PS3 recently lost FFXIII exclusivity (is that a word?), and Resident Evil 5 has been announced as multi-platform for a while now. And those are huge titles. Besides Resistance 2, I can't think of any big exclusive title for the PS3 coming out in the near future that will set it above and beyond the Wii or 360. Although I'm sure I'll be flamed...I mean "corrected"...by the fanboys in a minute.

In retrospect, they may be pretty dumb comments, but do we really expect high ranking sony employees to say otherwise?

Bill Gates will always say the latest windows is the "Best Ever"

Steve Jobs will always say the latest iCrap is "Best Ever"

I could go on

Exactly, anyone who listens to this marketing bs needs their brains testing :p

[Lare2]

Sony can't really get over the fact that even the tiny Wii is kicking the PS3's ass :laugh:

Nintendo is making money like crazy with the DS and Wii and they will be well funded for the next gen war.

All sales/business men/women are, it's not just Sony! They should all learn to shut the hell up and let the hardware/games do the talking.

Truly embarrassing is something like this :- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3446931931514285011

Quite the favourite quotes when we play BF:BC :rofl:

"Giant enemy tank!" "Real time weapon change and attack it's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!"

Good times :p

[popisdead uk]

That was bad as well, I knew one of you would post it up so I didn't bother :)

I still think the Steve Ballmer one is by far the worst.

And to think Sony PR was getting better...

They are just responding to the press, nothing more. As already said in here, it's best to ignore - none of the bigwigs have a clue.

Steve is just mental. I don't think anyone would deny it :laugh:

Sony's PR is just full of epic fail though. One embarassment after another!

[DPyro]

Those were the good ol' gays. BTW, Heavenly Sword had a little reference to that one quote:

(Aiming arrow at enemy's crotch)

Kai: Give me the password, or I'll attack your weak point for MASSIVE damage.

That was so funny, you said Massive Damage then I said, Don't forget Real Time weapon switching , then you said 'hold on switching now' then I think Sethos said Giant Enemy Tank! :laugh:

Sony really do need to just shut up and get on with the games. At this rate, its all talk and no action!

LOL @ Steve Balmer, did he take a few Red Bulls before going on the stage :s!

I genuinely don't see how this is embarrassing for Sony in the slightest? What did you expect him to say? He is hardly going to anything else.

[Richard Hammond]

Because hate Sony is the latest "fad", perhaps they should get a reality distortion field like Steve Jobs does where he can announce the 2nd iteration of a product that has all the features the original should have had and has everyone bleating like sheep.

[.KICK]

This is because right now, Sony does not have the best games line-up!

What he said is absolutely ludacris, that's how it's embarassing.

What do you expect him to turn round and say "Yeah our games lineup sucks, everyone stole our exclusives, you might as well buy a 360"?

Jesus use your common sense, he is the CEO of SCEA he WILL say that HIS console has the best games lineup.

Somebody with some sense, finally!

Sony seem to have a fair few games up their sleeves as well, so their line-up could drastically change over the coming months.

I still think the PS line up is better than the other consoles, it's all down to personal opinion at the end of the day. MS have 2 games coming to the 360 that I want (Fable2, GoW2), nothing else.

No, we expect them to shut up.

Sony has used up all of their life lines when it comes to embarrassing and incorrect statements.
