Probably he really wants a couple of good games on the PS3, but he need to stand and say no, we have a great line of exclusives blah blah blah, in order to keep the image, like the 10 year plan...

And people say that Cammie is bad...

When you say loaded question, you mean to imply the reporter wanted him sound desperate for a 360 exclusive? Or just for him to tip his hand about what he geninuly admired about his competitors? Personally I would have liked and respected an honest answer, it's always interesting when one company says something genuine and nice about another, escpecially a competitor, he could have given a generic and ambigious compliment like you given, then used the oppurtunity to turn around and plug his own lineup.

And you also can't pretend loaded questions are a shocking and new practice by reporters. Any business man that handles these questions poorly especially one as obvious as this, heck , you not good at your job. If your asking a ceo a questions your probably going to go for the , "what do you admire about your competitor?", to see what they may copy or what gap in their own lineup they may want to fill, or just to get an idea of how they think, and most importantly allow them to spin the crap out of the answer to turn it into a compliment. these guys should be masters.

How many people would really be annoyed if he said, "Well no one is going to turn down a multi-million selling franchise, as a company you strive to offer your consumers everything out there, but the franchises we don't have we strive to have even more compelling content in that genre,"   Example: it's great to see halo 3 having 4 player co-op and bungie.net, and the forge, it's obvious why it's popular, that's why I think ps3 owners will be thrilled with 8 player co-op in Resistence, Resistence.net, the next level of graphics in intensity in Killzone 2, and 256 player matches in MAG, plus the creative and user drivien content in games like LBP. Compliement competitor, leads to bigger compliment to yourself. Sure we love the Wii's Miis, that's why I think people will really love HOME! See it's easy. So you don't have to say, "shoot me."

because they know that HALO franchise will never come to PS3...

That's just ignorance and arrogance all in one. Every system has at least one exclusive worth taking.

two scenrios:

1. Kaz says he wants GeOW and Halo on the PS3

Xboxfanboy:"LOL, ofcourse he does, the 360 has the best games and PS3 has nothing! isn't it nice to dream? Sony execs are losers."

2. Kaz says he doesn't want any xbox exclusives

Xboxfanboy: "ROFL, what a liar! the 360 has the best games and the PS3 has nothing, he's probably still not over the FF13 announcement (which is why the PS3 sold 20k this week)."

Is there anything that an exec is going to say that isn't going to get him bashed by fanboys?

He should have facetiously told the reporter he wished the PS3 had the Fuzion Frenzy franchise.

I would take Gears of War 2 and that's about it.

It's a given that anti-Sony fanboys will bash any sort of response that Kaz would make; it's far more important to consider how non-fanboys will take his comments.

Personally, I would have liked for Kaz to have said something like "We welcome any and all good games to our already stellar lineup" or "I respect Microsoft as a competitor, but Sony's software library is in a class of its own."  Or words to that effect.

(Then again, it'd be entertaining to see Kaz shout "Falcon Punch!" and then clobber the guy).

My point is this.

If he says he'd like (insert xbox exclusive), he would look like he's weak and not confident in his own product.

If he says he doesn't think the PS3 needs any of the 360's exclusives, he would look like an arrogant prick.

It's a lose-lose situation. I don't expect any execs to give their competitors any credit, nor do i except them to not pump up the credibility of their own product. What were some of you bashers(not implying you, Alasted) expecting? "I WANT HALO....NOW!" give me a break.
