Howard Stringer: PS3 games 'infinitely more fun' than Wii

"I'm happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware," he said, before following up with the quip that the PS3 "will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting."Howy

well well...not every day Sony brass gives us such cannon fodder...and what a gem this is. let the games begin...

Well no one has played any of the PS3 games it seems to prove him right or wrong. At least Wii games sell.Eltroz

Since sales really determine if a game is good or not...

Come on man lay off the PS3. I love 360 too, but the PS3 has a few great games and many more to come out nexxxt year. Sales mean nothing to real gamers, well maybe in turns of wanting a sequel but thats it.

I agree with him. Maybe not quite as blatantly but the games for the PS3 are definitely more fun in terms of replay value and online play at this point by a longshot. This is personal opinion though so his opinion is really no different than ours (other than the fact that he works for Sony). Puckhog04

Ditto

Except that he said 'infiinitely more fun' not 'sold infinitely more'.

And to answer your question, the PS3 has 1 on gamerankings in Uncharted. So? SMG is held on gamerankings as the #1 game of all time.Does that mean that all 360/PS3 games are pointless? :roll:

Here's the catch though. Name me a non nintendo made game that sells well and has a good score on GR (AKA, a third party exclusive)

How can something be infinitely beeter than the best of all time?

And if they are infinitely beeter, how come so few people are even intrested?

Also Uncharted is not 90% or above. Yes it is close but Wii has games that you do not have to round up to get them in the AAAE area.

So I turn it back to you. How could PS3 games be infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting which is what Tretton said even though Wii has 3 AAAE games and also one of the highest rated games ever while PS3 still does not have one AAAE game in over a year?

I asked a simple question and you simply dodged it. Not my problem. As for the rest i have a few responses:

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/932984.asp

Uh huh.

And just because a game is AAA or even exclusive doesn't make it more fun. I'm sorry you're too ignorant to have played both consoles to a great extent to judge this but reviews aren't written in the Bible. You can follow their scores or you can play them for yourself and judge for yourself.

Oh and, i ask again, just because the Wii has the #1 (in the eyes of reviews) game of all time does that mean that the PS3 and 360 games are useless? Because that is essentially what you're saying by judging solely based on a culmination of reviews.

Games scores are nothing more than 1 opinion. Halo 3 being widely overrated (at least according to these forums) is a very good example of this. Hype helps as well.

If you type uncharted into gamerankings search it says 89.8% with 122 reviews but when you click it then you only get 41 reviews.

I never said the Wii is infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting about any other console games like Tretton did. I am saying I do not think Sony games are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting. That is a pretty strong statement and dumb from Tretton. Also again you are bringing up 360. MS did not say that stupid comment so why are you trying to involve 360 when only Sony made those stupid remarks?

It seems you will go by whatever Tretton says though.

Older than you, i can guarantee that.

As for the rest of your response. No one was getting excited. You're the only one that is.

Me believing everything he says? Yea, I guess that's why i prefer the 360 over the PS3, correct? Your ignorance is astounding. I suppose because i agree with him i must be on his side, right? Or could i be that I have played both extensively and can judge for myself rather than having other people and their reviews answer for me. In that aspect you are even more childish than thinking i was getting excited.Sure it's your last response, you don't have anything left to respond with. Gamerankings rounds all their games up, not just Uncharted. So it applies for other titles and not Uncharted? Once again a biased opinion on that issue.

I was making an analogy. Considering you're obviously not smart enough to see the correlation between the analogy i'll let it rest.

What games is he talking about?Weslii

That's what I was thinking. The best exclusive game I've played on the PS3 is Heavenly sword. It's a pretty good game, but GoW is way better and it uses the weakest of last gen's tech. He might be talking about uncharted which I havem't played but if it really is infinitely more fun I think that it would have higher scores. This is dumber than the crap that Reggie says and that's saying something

And yet Tretton maintains that sony aren't arrogant... owned by his own colleague.

First, it has been posted.

Second, he's representing a company, what did you expect? You would hear from the PONG spokesman the same. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, but yeah.

Third, it's purely opinion-based at best, so you don't even have anything to laugh at.

OH noes leet hax MARIO IS TEH FUNZ!

if what he's saying is true; then the ps3 is the ultimate failure.If it has the most fun games yet sells less than the 360 or Wii, what's sony's excuse now?

don't say price becuase they swore people would buy it at any price...

how people can be fans of sony when they continue this level of arrogance is beyond me...:roll:

Howard Stringer you are funny!!!!!

..

Man, I love how people love to streeeetch this out into something its not.

The guy works for Sony and is trying to promote Sony. To him, as with most PS lovers, he really porbably feels this way, as do I.

Take Warhawk for example. That IS infinitly more fun than just about every Wii game there is. That is, to me. You may vary from that and that's fine.

Why bash this dude for his opinion?

they're moving on to the Wii apparently...

All the PS3 Fanboys coming to the rescue. I personally think this is how the game libraray goes:

360-Wii-DS-PS3-PSP

Oh yeah and I'm a PSP owner from launch and have s*** games for it.

From the first fourwords of the article...

"Sony Chairman Howard Stringer..."

Nuff said.

Listen to people who actually know what they're talking about. then, come back and tell me how PS2 owners are all jumping to Wii. They aren't, Tango. Don't get it twisted.

6:30 in Patcher says they are buys wii's and wii games.

What a terrible article. The guy spent more time rambling about limits than he did actually discussing the comment. I felt like I was back in one of my math course lectures (And finals are over, so I really did not appreciate the regression.)

Poor journalism aside, A Sony Exec saying the PS3 has better games than the Wii!? I am both shocked and in awe!.........

Ontain

6:30 in Patcher says they are buys wii's and wii games.

He also says, at that same point, that they are buying PS2 games. And when he brings up the Wii, he states as PS people may be buying Wii for temporary satisfaction.
