Sony: We don't want any Xbox titles
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 25th July 2008
Sony is adamant that they need no exclusives to make the PS3 a success.
Microsoft on the other hand don't have any such qualms, having recently secured the right to publish Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360, stealing the thunder of what had previously been a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
Asked by Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (via Kotaku) which game he would want for the PlayStation 3 from the list of Xbox 360 exclusives, Kaz Hirai said that he did not want any of them at all...
Aftonbladet: If you had to choose ONE exclusive Xbox 360 title and launch it for the PS3 instead, which game would it be?
Hirai: I don't think I have to choose any.....
Aftonbladet: You have to pick one.
Hirai: Again, I don't think I have to pick one because we have such a fantastic lineup of games.
Refusing to give up, Aftonbladet told Kaz it was a matter of life and death, but Hirai remained firm.
Aftonbladet: But if someone is holding a gun to your head and you have to choose one. Which game would it be?
Hirai: Okay...then they have to shoot me, because I really don't think we need any.
The comment harks back to Jack Tretton's insistence that Sony refuses to pay or provide incentives to developers to create games exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
Which game do you want for the PlayStation 3? Let us know in the forums.

i would!.... seriously!!! have you played that POS!!!
Gernalists twisting things as always
But if i had the choice over a console id pick the ps3, im not really sure why.
These may not be to everyone's liking but ....
Viva Pinata (the original plus the upcoming follow up)
Supreme Commander (a 360 / PC exclusive)
Halo Wars (a decent looking RTS game on the 360 only)
I couldnt care for the Gears of War or general Halo trash though.
there should be no exclusives on consoles
all games for all consoles then you buy what you want.
I don't want to be forced into buying multiple consoles to play particular games, exclusives are bad thing for a lot of gamers
..since when did these companies value gamers over money?
Thats exactly what I was thinking... so apparently at some point there was a standoff where 2k games almost had to shoot Kaz Hirai to let them publish one of the best games of 2007 on his platform? What is this guy talking about. I guess he just enjoys adding more fuel to the fanboy flames.
Fixed that for you, Kaz.
Sony!??? on the ethical higher ground? HAHAHAHAH
all the Microsoft OS crap aside Sony is by far on the lower ethical ground overall.
Everybody KNOWS microsoft is scum most of the time, and they just want to make a buck.... but remember Sony and their rotkit music CDs? etc etc... yeahhhhh
at least the 360 has an awesome team behind it, driving the console further and further in the right direction... can't say the same thing about Sony.
there windows server software is hopeless. Vista anybody? how long did xp take to patch and get working. ? xbox 360 has its issues
red ring of death that was denied for 1 year then give 1 billion dollars to fix. the noise it makes kinda rules it out for night time play .
pc all the way for me. Most if not all 360 exclusives come to pc .
When has business been about ethics?! This is to me is a stupid business plan.
SP2 came out in 2004... so 3 years. Blue screens were still common well into SP2 as well... been using Vista for 3 or 4 months and it's never crashed on me and recovers itself without anything more than a "notice" if a dodgy 3rd party driver dies.
Some people have extremely short memories. Vista is already much better than XP.. I wouldn't go back if they paid me.
Whilst i don't approve of many of Microsoft's policies, they're definitely the lesser of two evils when you add Sony into the mix...
Not sure i'll ever be able to forgive Sony for their utterly astounding levels of arrogance during the PS3 launch and their blatant disregard of any decency towards consumers with the whole CD rootkit scandal...
Yes MS are bad as well, but not nearly as bad as Sony...
you better be a pc gamer or your gonna get a beating for that,
Go Sony! Love those guys and their wee black beasty.
Sort of.
never had one blue screen at the fault of the OS, only when i did something like overclock or add bad third party drivers did i ever get a Blue screen and that was twice!
Hear hear.
I'm really tired of hearing about Halo, on which basis you'll have to excuse my constant banging on about it.
Paging all fourteen year old 360 owners: Any of the Halo series is not a very good game. It's an average game, even a boring game. It's a game which embodies exactly what's wrong with consoles, in that it's had all the heart and soul ripped out of it to make it maximally inoffensive to the largest possible number of people.
Enjoyment of Halo signifies one of two things: very, very successful neural reprogramming by the Microsoft publicity machine, or a distinct lack of imagination.
Combat evolved? Combat made exactly the damn same as every other FPS, you mean...
just out of interest, and it is just a question what do you use software wise on your pc to run those games
This forum, where there is, almost daily, at least one preschooler hammering with breathless desperation on his keyboard to express exactly how inexperienced he is in the field of computer games.
Every damn time the Xbox comes up someone brings up Halo like it's the second coming of Christ and it's mediocre
cant fault you there, tho you did mention it so isnt that cheating lol
I bought an Xbox (almost) exclusivly because of Halo3, I wanted to finally see what it was all about, that day was the largest disapointment of my life. It is a POS, made HAZE look passable.
I'm considering getting a PS3 just for those two..
dude, i AM getting a ps3 for LBP. come release date i'm so there.
I wish I had that much money to throw around..
