Sony is getting ready for a bitter fight to reclaim its lost glory, enterting this holiday season with a PS3 price cut, a new PSP and the promise of hot games like Uncharted 2, MAG, and Heavy Rain. Naturally, Microsoft Minister of Propaganda Aaron Greenberg is unphased, believing the Xbox 360 can match anything the PlayStation 3 has.
"I think if you first look at this holiday, we shape up really well versus Sony," explains the talkative executive. "Sure they have Uncharted and Ratchet, but if you want to play Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3, Left 4 Dead 2 or the GTAIV exclusive games you are only going to find those on Xbox 360. Then you have to add all of the exciting offerings we are bringing to Xbox LIVE with Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm and instant-on HD movies in 1080p.
"But of course if you look beyond this holiday you add in even more exclusives like Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Halo: Reach and Project Natal. I truly believe Xbox 360 is uniquely positioned to deliver the leading games and entertainment experiences both today and tomorrow."
What do you think? Does the PS3 trump the 360 in terms of exclusives, or is Greenberg's confidence justified with his list of lengthy games. All I know is, as an owner of both systems, I win either way. It's going to be a very good 2010.

To get ahead they have to innovate(and i'm talking about true innovation, not just MoCo), i personally think that a few good RPG's would make a diference.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Cobra out
Sorry to say, I don't care about Netflix (I want to have a physical copy of my movies), I couldn't care less about Halo, Gears Of War and racing games. And many 360 games come to Windows too. Now, what does Xbox have now that interests me? yeah..
Maybe I'm a minority here, but Microsoft doesn't offer what I want. So STFU Greenberg, I don't need to hear your bullshit.
M-DOLLAR SIGNS! LOLOLOLOL

Not to mention Left for dead is on the comp too A-hole. Rest of the crap he said isnt being commented on because its crap. :\
AND BATMAN
being overweight and bald?
All I know is I play games with my PS3 and there are games coming out that I will be buying so I win a little but Sony wins my monies.
In the Microsoft world people only use Internet Explorer and only use their Computers for porn.
It's exclusive to the market that doesn't game on PC's regularly/seriously.
Greenburg is right, but you can't sleep on Sony's exclusives. ESPECIALLY God of War 3.
Either way, it's not like he blatantly lied about anything either.
Xbox360 biggest exclusives are the halo series, followed by gears of war 2, and the (gta 4 dlc exclusives if you're into that). I have to agree with hiddenAHB that they need to be some exciting exclusive rpgs.
Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Halo: Reach and Project Natal.
Ahem...
Shooter, Racer, Shooter, Racing Shooter, ???, Action RPG, Spy Shooter, Shooter, WAGGLE!!!!!!!!
My point being absolutely nothing.
The ps3 line up looks good but to be honest i cant afford all these games so i will have to pick and choose, and odst, left 4 dead 2 and forza win it for me.
lulz
Anyhow overall I think both consoles come out even. They are panderin to different audiences with the same effectiveness and the mulitplatform, for the most part, aren't showing much significant superiority. I still believe, and I don't like to mind you, that XBL is better than PSN. They're both fairly clunky but XBL has so many advantages for me personally. Namely XBLA, GTA IV DLC, and the upcoming RBN.
Now do I agree with Greenberg? Sorta kinda. Okay so he picked sone iffy choice of words, and so those games aren't really a direct threat to Sony's core audience, they do exemplify a better effort to attract and retain the audience MS is going after. So Sony won't be a threat but I don't think MS is throwing any punches either.
I guess it's exclusive to the Microsoft platform. It comes out for the PC too, but guess who got the upper hand there? Yes. I think it's sad that Microsoft doesn't try to push PC as a gaming platform more.
I don't know why they are pushing the uselessness of adding these to the interface.

To everyone who put a dollarsign in a MS abbreviation or mentioned Blu-Ray or free online service...stfuajpg.
Seriously. A troll approaches.

I will say though, Greenberg's definition of exclusive is a bit off. I am overly excited about L4D2. I look forward to purchasing via Steam and playing on my PC. The same applies to the majority of other worthwhile "exclusives".
In before get a PS3.
Nope,No way in hell, PC
besides if I bought another System it will be the Ps3 for many reasons
1) it has True DTS and True Theater Picture
2) It has Blue Ray
3) online is free ( why would you pay to use your own internet unless its an MMO? )
4) Games are More original than Microsoft
5) don't want to have to deal with falty hardware
who gives a woot about twitter anyways?
What's he smoking?
But whatever. I'm used to Micro$oft talking trash and being general assholes about everything.
And I agree with Jim; 2010 is gonna be awesome!
