Xbox 360 will do well against PS3 this winter - MS
Greenberg talks up line-up
Despite the new look PS3 Slim, a lower price and a few big name titles, Microsoft reckon they can hold their own against Sony this Christmas, product management director Aaron Greenberg talking up the Xbox 360's winter line-up.
"I think if you first look at this holiday, we shape up really well versus Sony. Sure they have Uncharted and Ratchet, but if you want to play Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3, Left 4 Dead 2 or the GTA IV 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," Greenberg beamed, talking with Eurogamer.net.
"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."
Beyond Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank, the PS3 will also be getting God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5 and ModNation in the next few months - although some of these games will arrive after Christmas.
