Beating the "greatest holiday lineup"

Sony’s competition hasn’t been shy about gently reminding gamers every now and then that it boasts “the best holiday games lineup ever.” With games such as Halo 3 and Mass Effect incoming, it’s hard to argue that the potential of a big Xbox 360 holiday is at the very least quite strong.

Sony is concentrating on its own lineup of Sony-published holiday games for PS3: Ratchet & Clank Future, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Lair and Folklore.

“The consumers are going to see this holiday—the adverts are breaking soon—that PS3 has a very good lineup,” argued Reeves.

Right now, Microsoft has strong market penetration in the US, and its Xbox 360 has been consistently selling more than PS3.

“This is not the US. [Europe’s] quite different from the US in terms of market shares.” said Reeves. “…PS3 outsells Xbox 360 about 3 to 1. PS2 outsells Xbox 360 by 4 to 1 [SCEE said the PS3:360 ratios are from "at least the last four months." - ed.]…. In Japan, Xbox 360 does nothing….They have a good lineup and I think they’ve done a fantastic job coming into the market. But they said last year, ‘we’ve got the greatest lineup and this is the year we’re taking off.’ They’re just repeating it.

“We don’t like to set ourselves up and say we’re going to great, but then don’t. We just don’t say anything. We deal in numbers.”
