That's probably the important ones, by overall I was sort of implying that it caters to more audiences because there's 3 distinct genres. It's close, but I'd say 360's was more to more people, and PS3's was a lot more to a narrower selection of the market. I also hated the Infamous demo :P
Both were pretty poor this year to be honest. Uncharted might be game of the year, but I think Microsoft had an overall better offering. Next year, all 3 have incredible exclusive lineups, and I wouldn't like to call any of them. Nintendo get a massive advantage with the all conquering Mario Galaxy 2, though :D
Microsoft will respond with Gears of War 3 next year most bet and of course Alan Wake!

If I was to conduct these types of interviews I'd put the dictaphone in front of the guy and say, "Spout whatever sh*te your boss has told you to and I'll make up the appropriate questions when having to listen back to this tripe."

Well this guy is clearly no Peter Moore. He's got the same charisma as Alistar Darling if you ask me.
360 best exclusive games? ROFL - well it looks like someone forgot to tell that to Metacritic.
The highest rated exclusive the 360 has is a tie between Gears Of War and Halo 3 (94).
LittleBigPlanet beats both of them with 95 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves completely eclipses them with a score of 97.
It's just Microsoft's way though, isn't it? They're all talk and no action. They claim to have the best exclusives but in a year where PS3 owners have seen Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Infamous and the soon to be released Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time Microsoft have released one racing game (Forza 3) and one game that only lasts about 6 hours (Halo: ODST). I think it's pretty obvious to any real gamer who has the best exclusive games..........
This year has certainly been a much better year for games on the PS3, and next year has a few potential gems to further increase the must play exclusives too.
MS need to pick up the slack a little next year to compete rather than getting a PR man to try and justify a quiet year.
That's a pretty funny comment given that Microsoft has seemed asleep at the wheel this year.
Number of exclusive retail releases in 2009 that have scored 80 or over on Metacritic?
360: 4
PS3: 7
Since the beginning of 2008?
360: 10
PS3: 17
Not to mention that two of those 360 games this year were Halo spinoffs, and one is a set of expansion packs (for GTA). And that best FPS? The latest Halo is running 7 points behind Killzone 2 on Metacritic too.
Not a very impressive lineup at all this year, Microsoft. I think they're beginning to get a bit insecure, I think their lack of investment in software over the last 18 months or so is going to catch up on them now that Sony's sorted out their pricing.
it's funny... lately microsoft has seemed to show an increase of justifying their console. That just means they are getting scared. Lets face it, before the PS3 started gaining momentum they weren't making outlandish claims like this or saying things like their system offers the better experience for gamers etc.
Just like before Apple started gaining momentum they weren't trying to "redefine" their operating system. They pushed Windows Vista out biting off of OS X and failed badly. Also now piggybacking Apple retail stores and opening their own "Applish" retail stores, when they said Apple entering retail was a dumb business decision years ago....... FAIL.
totally agreed. We might not have the halos and killzones but i still think keyboard and mouse controls are better than anything else as far a fps are concerned. Yeah, we have half life 2, best first person shooter of all time, probably
another stupid corporate statement :p
i expect sony to have their own very soon "kIllzone absolutely kills halo" blah blah

It will be interesting to see how MS respond over the next year or so as the PS3 has definatly created some competition this year - finally!
