Kaz Hirai would rather die than get Xbox 360 exclusives on the PS3

Sony's gaming head, Kaz Hirai, said in an interview Thursday that he would rather "take a bullet in the head" than have Xbox 360 exclusives on the PS3.

Tough as nails, or arrogantly foolish?

Tough as nails, or arrogantly foolish?

Remember all those Xbox 360 exclusives that have come out over the years? Yeah, Sony Computer Entertainment head Kaz Hirai would rather take a bullet than get any of them on the PS3.

Whether this is hubris or calculated coolness on the part of the Sony exec is up to you. Here's the interview in question, translated by Kotaku:

Aftonbladet: If you had to choose ONE exclusive Xbox 360 title and launch it for the PS3 instead, which game would it be?

Hirai: I don't think I have to choose any.....

Aftonbladet: You have to pick one.

Hirai: Again, I don't think I have to pick one because we have such a fantastic lineup of games.

Aftonbladet: But if someone is holding a gun to your head and you have to choose one. Which game would it be?

Hirai: Okay.. then they have to shoot me, because I really don't think we need any.

So what do you think? Are there really no Xbox 360 exclusives that could have made an impact on the PS3 over the past two years?

He might not get a bullet in the head but Sony has been taking it up the butt by losing some long time exclusives to MS. I perfer my FPS on 360 and my action/fighting games on the PS3.It's more of a controller preference.

I think UT3 on PS3 showed how badass GoW would have looked on the PS3. GoW on the PS3 would have had a major impact , probably getting some more PS3 sales. When you look at what games are being played online, its FPS and GoW is still being played a year later. PS3 got some FPS and Warhawk right now but something like Gears would have burned up them servers.

I know he would love gears of war on ps3, unreal 3 was such a joke compared to gears. This guy is really tarded if he truly believes that.

I think bioshock was the only game worth while ... but the ps3 is getting it... GOW... lol, that game's story line is pure garbage..
