Kaz Hirai would take a bullet to the head over an xbox 360 exclusive

He was just being difficult.

The problem is that his answer says he would rather take a bullet to the head then bring another great game to the PS3. He can think the PS3 doesn't need anymore titles all he wants but more games to choose from is never a bad thing..where as a bullet to the head is always a bad thing.

Obviously he didn't want to acknowledge that the 360 had anything worth having because for whatever reason giving them credit is a horrible thing in his mind, which is of course just childish.

He could have just said "We love what is being done in the Gears of War franchise and it looks like a great title. But we still feel that [marketing BS blah blah blah] only on PS3." And if he says that its a minor blurb at best and most likely a positive thing as people marvel at his ability to not be an enslaved marketing zombie.

If I was Kaz, I would have said something similar. MS reps pick up on these things and recently have been taking cheap shots on Sony and Nintendo. had he given a name I can imagine a MS rep saying something like " As much as Sony wanting gears or Halo, it will never happen. It is wishful thinking".

It would show weakness and therefore the answer he gave was perfectly fine. It just shows, unlike MS having to buy out Exclusives from rival consoles, Sony can do without them. They don't need to result in this since they have plenty of their own in house devs bringing quality products to their console. 

Nice one Kaz, you didn't fall for it. you should be given a pat on the back for holding your own!

 

 

Not quite, if a MS rep had tried to twist it like that we would be criticizing that comment instead of this one.

The MS  rep would be out of his mind to try and twist it to begin with, after Sony gives them some credit for them to try a move like that would be a huge negative PR hit?  And we both know that several of the pro-PS3 news sites would have picked up on the BS right away and then the other sites would follow and there would be a thread here on VGC just like this one.
