Don’t expect generic shooters, though: “My strategy was to encourage developers to push the machine technically, creatively, artistically - to innovate in lots of different ways. But don’t be restricted by ghettoising games into a particular genre, or a particular display mechanic, because what we’ve seen on other systems tend to be retro 2D games, and we’re pushing the 3D capabilities of the PlayStation 3.” [...] [...] In an interview posted on ThreeSpeech, Sony’s Phil Harrison has stated that there are currently 40 downloadable games for the PS3 in development, with more planned.

But I really don't understand Phils arguments. There are XBLA games which use the Xbox 360 processing power just fine. And still more on their way. And after having seen the presentations about the PS live whateveritscalled thingy, I only see fl0w as their head game... which is nothing more than a flash game I played many months ago. So ... where is the content? I don't believe anything Sony says, after I've seen comparisions between "ingame" screenshots and the actual ingame graphics. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Tekken.

The Wii and the PS3 have finally announced their launch title games and you may or may not be impressed depending on what console you plan on purchasing.  The Wii has an "incredible" 32 games and 30 "Virtual Console" games (Nintendo's version of Xbox Live Arcade Games).  The PS3 on the other hand only has 21 games released over the holiday season (Not all will be available on November 17th).  Of the 21 games 14 games are multiplatform games!  Only 7 unique games will be available for the PS3 some time during their launch, or holiday period!  To put the next gen console battle all into perspective (yet again) the Xbox 360 only launched with 20 titles, not counting the XBLA games.  Many of those launch titles were also offered on other platforms, however there was no other option for next gen graphics, and high resolution HD gaming at the time of the launch of the Xbox 360.  So even though many of those 20 titles were also offered on other platforms there was nothing besides a PC that could compete with the graphic quality and high resolution gaming that the Xbox 360 offered.  Now about one year later with the launch of the Wii, and the PS3 the Xbox 360 finally has some competition in the next gen console market. **UPDATE** Sony has announced 40 downloadable games that are in development and "should" be ready for launch.

New games will always have something that old games don't and that is new experiences. Retro games are entertaining for a good 10 minute,s but these offerings by sony will give us new games that could turn into the next big game.

It seems to me that he's simply making snarky comments without any real answers to what will actually differenciate between the two services.
