SCEE chief: "PS3 has a better line-up than 360 in 2008"

The PS3 has a "better line-up than the Xbox 360 in 2008", according to Sony.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com following his presentation to media at PlayStation Day in London last night, SCEE chief David Reeves said that he didn't believe the Xbox 360 was a sinking ship but revealed that Sony had a "really good Christmas coming up".

When asked if he thought the Xbox 360 was a sinking ship, Reeves replied: "No I don't think it's a sinking ship. I think they have contributed amazingly to the growth of the industry. And I think we have done exactly the same. We don't criticise the competition because we are all in this industry and the only way you can do it is to actually bring more consumers in. So I'm not going to criticise them. All I'm saying is that I think that when we look ahead I think we honestly have a better line-up on PS3 than they probably do on Xbox."

1 - That was actually a really partisan and diplomatic comment.
Much nicer than the mud-slinging and chest-puffing that often goes on from Redmond. He acknowledged the success of his competitor and their contribution to the industry AND managed to sneak in a little stab.

David Reeves is quickly becoming one of my favorite faces of gaming. He sort of blurts out whatever comes to mind before his handlers can stop him.

Cheers,

take note, no childish remarks, instead sony showed respect and praise but being confident with regards to what they will bring to the main course.

microsoft past comments especially the 'what you can do in gta4 while waiting for the 5min install on ps3' was your lowest,this is why your hated by alot of people who prefer apple and sony products

1.3 - Respect?
If you are going to give "respect" part of the way then you might as well go all the way or it isn't "respect" at all. Sony saying they have a better line up isn't respecting the competition.

To say that the PS3 has a better line up in 2008 is wrong. End of story. The real people that should be commenting on PS3 vs Xbox vs Wii wars are the ones that actually own all 3 consoles and can make a valid argument. I own all three, and from where I stand, the Xbox is my most played system and will continue to be through 2008. Gears of War 2 will be the next big thing in video games. So far, I've been very disappointed with my PS3. And now that word has come out that MGS isn't what they want it to be due to hardware restrictions on the PS3, leaves me very VERY disappointed.

Shout, scream, kick or spit on each other all you want. To say that PS3 > 360 in 2008 is just plain false. Support your 1 and only system, 360 has the better line up this year.

Sorry you forgot some word's. And should we underline probably at the end? Or should we even say he is talking about the original xbox?

"All I'm saying is that I think that when we look ahead I think we honestly have a better line-up on PS3 than they probably do on Xbox"

What you should have said is " I think so also "

2.2 - Both have good Lineups
I PERSONALLY think PS3 has a better lineup, but 360 has a good one too (I am a multi console owner).

PS3: Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, MGS 4, Little Big Planet, Disgeae 3, White Knight Story, Valkria Chronicles, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Infamous, Haze, Siren, Socom Confrontation, Singstar

360: Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, Gears of War 2, Alone in the Dark, Infinity Undiscovery, Age of Conan, Left 4 Dead, Tales of Vesperia, Banjo 3

PS3 has lil more notable titles, but I think both will have games pushed to 09 (HOPE THEY ARENT)

PS3: Infamous,White Knight Story (Infamous and WKS have WAY too little info to be coming this year)(Although, more WKS info in Japan than NA/EU)
360: Banjo 3(Banjo has just too little info atm), Fable 2 (E3 we will know I bet),Age of Conan (360 version obviously)

Well, one heavy hitter is already delayed to 2009 (Killzone 2).
Still, PS3 has MGS4 which is it's biggest gun along with FFXIII but that won't arrived before 2009.

Overall, I still believe that PS3 indeed has the better line-up but NOT much better than 360's. (Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 are gonna ROCK!)

You're right. Killzone 2 was announced for 2007, then it was delayed till march 2008 and then till Q4 2008. And now it got delayed. Check the net.
Every site from GameSpot to IGN to CVG is reported that "Killzone 2 is delayed till 2009".

E3 2007 Phill harrison stated that that they expect it to release sometime early 2008, and that a public beta would happen before that.

Even without Killzone 2 this year the PS3 has a better line up, and the 360 just has Gears 2(which I can't wait to play honestly)

Why does everyone point to only Gears 2 (which is no4 on my most anticipated 360 list)?what about Too Human,Ninja Gaiden2,Left 4 dead,Infinite Undiscovery,Banjo 3,Fable 2 and Halo Wars.Games so far that previews have pointed out to be very good.

There are others like Cry On and tales of Vesperia(Not interested in those anyway), that could be very good games as well.

There are also some unconfirmed titles for 08 but could slip to 09 like Warhound,Dead island,Splinter cell conviction and Alan Wake.

The truth is that since FF13,Killzone 2 and GT5 have all slipped to 09 then both console exclusives are dead even and preference going only too which of the exclusives you prefer.You prefer the PS3 exclusives , i prefer the 360 exclusives (very diverse line up) but just because we prefer one over the other does not make the other worse.

he named 3 exclusives for 360 and then named 3 exclusives for the ps3, how isthat the a much better lineup, granted that sony has some other big games coming but so does the 360 even if its less.

they like to mention how one is going to have more or better games in 08, can someone remind both ms and sony that dropping games in the last 4 months of 08 is not technicaly a whole year.

7 - I've realised that i'm only 1 person and i just dont have time for all the games this year.
I'm excited about:-
Too Human
H.A.W.X
Battlestation Midway 2
Gears 2
Fable 2
NG 2

Those are some pretty good games, but honestly only Gears 2 and maybe Too Human are going make a big splash this year for Microsoft. I love NG2 but it doesn't have the hype that games like Gears 2, MGS4, Resistance 2, Little Big has.

8 - Matter of Opinion
I have a X360 and PS3 and I try not to be a fanboy because I want access to the best each console has to offer, but when you see comments like this, its complete spin, because saying one lineup is better than another is strictly OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I am looking forward to RFOM:2, MGS4, and Killzone 2 on PS3. On X360 I want Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, Left for Dead, Banjo 3, Gears 2, Fable 2, and Halo Wars.

So, in my opinion X360's is better, but its just opinion.

8.1 - Too bad not one of them
are really must haves triple As.

Its only "must have" because you dont own any other system.

Someone with both 360 and PS3 will not even go for the 360 titles by a longshot. Fail.

8.2 - Still a "Matter" of "Opinion"
Fanboys of either console, will give the Edge to their console of choice. Duhh..I'm sorta with this guy tho, as far as line-up goes.

1. In 2007, all we kept hearing were these PS3 games: MGS4-->LBP-->HAZE-->R esistance 2-->KillZone 2-->Final Fantasy XIII?

--In reality, all we really have that are bound to make an impact, as far as a franchise goes, MGS4-->Resistance 2-->LBP out of them games.

--Remember "these" were suppose to be the HEAVY HITTERS of 2008. Besides that, you have a lot of NEW IP's/Franchises that could just as good but with a big ?'s. I know some claim bias with these games.

2. Looking at Xbox 360's line-up, which was suppose to be "Weaker", but some how, things have gotten brighter for the 360's line-up since them PS3 games will be spread out. I also want "want Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, Left for Dead, Banjo 3, Gears 2, Fable 2, and Halo Wars." like this guy.

--Plus I will be getting "multi-player-platform fighters" such as Street Fighter HD, Soul Caliber, Tekken 6, MK Vs DC,and K.I(Please Rare). Of course most of these fighters will be gong to my PS3.(Controller preference)

3. Then you have, RPG games, for which I got my PS3 for, but have been non-existent but the 360 have/will-->kept/keep me afloat with Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remenant(multi), Fallout 3(multi).

So on a matter of opinion and what I play, I'll probably get more games for the 360 this year. Sony's line-up has Weakened IMO. Multi-titles, I'll choose after the reviews and such.

I know I'm missing some games but do really think I gonna have time for all of them? It's expensive owning all 3 consoles.

Yeah I forgot all about Left 4 Dead. It was suppose to be a Multi-platform game but I also keep hearing it will be a Xbox360 exclusive. I have both systems also but I buy all multi-platform games on the PS3 because of free online, but if Left 4 Dead stays only 360 between that and Gears 2 I might have to sign up for Live again. If Alan Wake ever comes out I will have to Rent it also.
