The PlayStation 3 doesn't have a games portfolio for audiences such as families and kids, says Stephen McGill, Microsoft's head of gaming and Entertainment and Devises Division UK.

"If you look at the PS3 line-up it's quite heavy in shooters and drivers," McGill told CVG in a recent interview. "I'm pleased to say that our portfolio is quite appealing to the masses".

"We've got a great portfolio of games for kids, families, mums and girls", he continues. "As you come into Christmas I think you'll see our portfolio expand to over 300 titles with all the biggest franchises that everyone will want".

For a console supposedly focused on driving, I don't see that many worthwhile driving games. And I'm a driving game nut.

That's funny considering that's the only two genres the Xbox platform ever has decent games in.

Dead Rising-M rating. Lost Planet-M rating. Halo- M rating. Gears- M rating. Crackdown-M rating. Saints Row-M rating. As for the racing games go.. PGR, MOTOgp and FORZA and family orineted gams... Viva.. Piana. Cant think of anyother "mum" or kid friendly games for the 360 yea I would say MS PR is more full of it then Sony.

M$ are a bunch of hypocrites. The 360 has about 30 shooters, most of which are on XBL. These are all the games currently on the market that have been reviewed that you can buy in stores.

PS3 racers (6): Motorstorm, Formula One Championship, Ridge Racer 7, Need for Speed Carbon, GripShift and Full Auto 2. PS3 shooters (2): Resistance: Fall of Man and Call of Duty 3, both of which are decent games at best.

360 racing games (15): PGR3, Burnout Revenge, Need for Speed Most Wanted & Carbon, Moto GP 06, Ridge Racer 6, Test Drive Unlimited, Full Auto, Import Tuner Challenge, Novadrome, Big Bumpin', Pimp My Ride, Pocketbike Racer and New Rally X.

360 shooters (17): Gears of War, GRAW, GRAW2, PDZ, Rainbow 6 Vegas, COD 2 & 3, FEAR, Lost Planet, Far Cry Instincts Predator, Crackdown, Prey, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, The Outfit, Quake 4 and History Channel: Civil War

:lol: MS are nothing but a bunch of childish knobs.

Hey! lets take a true statement that our competator can claim and say it ourselves!!!

Incase MS did not notice... their gameplan/audiance/games are pretty much a copy and past from the Playstation Brand... minus Japan.

I liked it better when Peter Moore said the one franchise he wanted on the 360 was Mario. Now, I think of Microsoft as George Bush again.

He shouldnt have said this, but this is only the 2nd time I have heard a MS spokesman say something like this. While on the other hand Sony reps are always saying stuff they should say like everyday its something new
