Speaking in a recent interview, Sony's Phil Harrison brushed off concerns regarding the PS3's loss of exclusive titles by stating that Sony has a larger platform dedicated to development than their competitors combined. This results in all the best games complete with the best technology becoming exclusive to Sony platforms.

One area in which Sony has succeeded in the past is platform exclusives. But recently, many traditional Playstation exclusives have gone to Xbox 360 as well - Virtua Fighter, Grand Theft Auto, and Devil May Cry, for example. Is there anything you can do to combat this trend, or is the era of exclusives coming to an end?

Well, from a third-party exclusive point of view, that doesn’t fall under my remit, because I’m looking after Worldwide Studios and our first-party output. But, obviously, I’m looking at the platform as an entire portfolio. And yes, I’m always concerned to make sure that consumers can buy the best games and get the best game experiences to validate their system purchase. [But] as long as the games they get are great, [consumers] don’t care if they are third-party or first-party…What I do believe is that the investments we have made in Worldwide Studios globablly - U.S., Europe, and Japan - will yield the best quality software and the highest quality experiences that are clearly going to be exclusive to the platform…We have a larger platform-dedicated development resource than our competitors combined. So all of that goes towards the fact that the best games with the best technology are coming exclusively to [Sony] platforms.
