''I would argue there are also high-quality games that seem to be well marketed (that) aren't selling well on competitive platforms.''

I read it and honestly couldn't think of any high quality titles that have been well marketed and flopped on the HD console's.

The closest would be Too Human, but that was far from high quality or well marketed.

Otherwise everything else he said was fine, Reggie sure can keep on his toes in interviews.

Virtua Fighter 5, Bayonetta, Mirror's Edge, nearly everything recently on PSP... I'm sure someone out there with the time can do a comprehensive list.

Nevermind that if Dead Space Extraction and GTA Chinatown Wars had launched on "competing platforms" they'd have still flopped, possibly worse.

The PSP I can definetely agree with, but Bayonetta is close to a million copies sold combined on both platforms and just released in January, Mirror's Edge is close to 2 million sold combined and isn't known as a 'high quality' title. Virtua Fighter 5 did bomb, but 520,000 on a console with such a small install base at launch is hardly at fault.

The interview question was rude, but I just though that Reggie's answer didn't exactly ring true when you look at quality titles with good marketing on the HD platform's.
