It doesn't contradict his statement if Sony has more shooters. Sony has more of EVERYTHING. They just make more and more varied games.

yep, that's exactly why they said this...Sony has EVERY genre available covered with exclusive, while the 360 has a couple RPGs and that's it.

Sony has no WRPG exclusives.

This just in: The Earth revolves around the Sun and the sky is blue. Any other painfully obvious observations, Sony?

Well, Demon's Souls is quite western. Technically a Jrpg, but there ya go. And people seem to say VC isn't a JRPG, so that too. Two of the best rpgs this gen. Better than just about all of 360's rpgs. So let's not get crazy. And I know Mass Effect and Fable, I know.

Mkay. Sony has no RTS exclusives either.

Demon's Souls kinda counts as one I guess... It's just made by a Japanese company

OT:
I will just say this.

Considering that Fable 2 has outsold the majority of Sony's 1st party efforts this generation. He should shut up.

Also considering that the PS3 is losing by a LOT in NA to the 360 (and Wii), maybe SCEA should also start to "rely on shooters"

Does an RTS currently in development count? Was announced early last year IIRC

Looks pretty cool too, actually - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVi60_Q1_8g&feature=related

Your reply seems factually incorrect...

What Sony RTS has shipped to compete with Halo Wars and the first Command & Conquer 3? What PS3 simulation does Sony have to compete with Viva Pinata? What SRPG shipped on PS3 competing against Spectral Force 3 and Operation Darkness? How is Sony doing with Card/Board Strategy games like Culcept Saga, Catan, and Magic The Gathering? I think both consoles cover a lot of genres. But, for exclusive genres 360 is not weak...

Also,

360 RPGS not found on PS3 - Mass Effect 1, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Dark Messiah Might & Magic Elements, Divinity II, Fable II, Final Fantasy XI Online, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom, Magnacarta 2, Operation Darkness, Phantasy Star Universe, Risen, and Spectral Force 3 (Total = 15)

360 Timed Exclusive RPGs before PS3 versions - Mass Effect 2, Eternal Sonata, Enchanted Arms, Star Ocean Last Hope, Tales of Vesperia, Oblivion IV Elder Scrolls, and Two Worlds (Total = 7)

PS3 RPGS not found on 360 - Demon Souls, Disgea 3, Last Rebellion, Untold Legends Dark Kingdom, Valkyria Chronicles, Yazuka 3, White Knight Chronicles, Cross Edge, 3D Dot Game Heros (Total = 9)

PS3 Timed Exclusives RPGS before 360 versions - Record of Agarest (Total = 1)

Looks to me like Sony is lacking in RPGs compared to 360... 15 to 9 on exclusives... 7 to 1 for timed exclusives...
