Max Payne theatrical trailer releasedSony Computer Entertainment America’s Vice President of Product Marketing, Scott Steinberg, has said that the competition has already utilized its “big assets” in the on-going format war, and as a result, may have “punched themselves out of the fight."
Speaking to GamePro, Steinberg commented, "Our competition has already leveraged all their big assets in the first couple of years and may have punched themselves out of the fight.”
He went on to say how the victory of Blu-ray in the high definition format war has made a significant impact on PlayStation 3 sales, adding, "I think [the Blu-ray win] is a huge momentum builder for us and I think it is part of why we believe 2008 is going to be a monster year for the PS3.”
“When you incorporate games like Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, and Resistance 2...there will a great mixture of new IP and proven PlayStation brands," he said.
Steinberg also hinted at the possibility of introducing movie and music downloads on the PS3, stating, "We have entertainment leverage and that means music and movies. No other company has that ability or those assets. The PS3 is the hub....you can probably connect the dots. Stay tuned!"

I really hope they release music downloads/store for the PS3 soon, that would be cool. Although, CD's FTW.
I agree, xbox has nothing left to advertise with. Besides GoW2.
We'll see commercials like, Viva Pinata 2- only on Xbox 360!!!
He may have spoke too soon on this one. I wish Sony would just make comments that center around making great games. Everytime they say something like this it usually gets looked at from the wrong perspective.
odium generis humani needed more attention from his mother around childhood, I assume. Stop typin in caps, kid.
Second, Psu, there's a grammar problem in the second to last paragraph... looks like you forgot the word B.
heh... yaya, I'm nitpicky like that. I agree with what the PR-guy says.
He is the marketing guy he says things to make his products look good that is his job.
Its like coc.ky but true. The PS3 owns this year and I can't wait to shove it in the faces of my friends.

lol why does PSU always post news sooo late?
sounds kinda arrogant but i think that he should stop
yup i think so :D if it's true kinda good to
I know alot of people love thier Xbox but honestly nothing would make me happier than to see it next to Dreamcast in the hall of shame. Not because I'm a fanboy because I'm not; because MS doesn't focus on quality to the extent I expect when dropping $ on a game console.
I do agree with what he is saying but Sony, i know your confident that your going to win put blurrting out stuff like this will only get you bad critism. Microsoft will, probably come out with a negative responce that will cause trouble. But, Microsoft have a hard year in 2008. No proper exclusive games except for Gears of War 2, maybe Fable 2, but its pretty average when conpared to other RPG's. but they both to go against Resistance 2, Killzone 2 etc..
WHAT IF? What if Gears of War 2 perfects every aspect of the first and becomes truly great? What if Fable 2 really does deliver this time? What if Too Human turns into their God of War? And by the way, the only 'GoW' I know is God of War, not Gears.
thats a lot of what ifs
i really hope to see music/movie downloads as well. and when Steinberg said "No other company has that ability", at first i didnt understand and thought he meant no other CONSOLE has that ability. I was like duh 360 has it. but re-read it and hes right. there's Sony Picture, Sony BMG. so PS3 def has good opportunity for providing music and movie downloads. do u see Microsoft Pictures? LOL no!
btw, i love how he states that Gran Turismo 5 and Little Big Planet are all in for this year. we already heard confirmation GT5 wasnt coming till atleast early '09. As for LBP, they "expect" Q4 this year. who knows.
I like GamePro, they always seem unbias in their reviews, and when they do specific console articles they make them worth reading. If this is what they say, it only proves how smart they are!
Sony has the uppper hand this year. Lets just hope all those big games don't get delayed.
Gears 2 and Fable 2 are pillars in a flood of PS3 brands. They may stand for a while but they will eventually erode down.
Also, I guess UT3 is coming to the 360 in May.
I will agree with this guy when I start playing the games.
