SCEA president Jack Tretton has gone on record to The Tech Chronicles (via VG247) about the PLAYSTATION 3’s “formidable arsenal” as well as the PS3’s Motion Controller.
On a line-up for the PS3, which includes just for this year Uncharted 2, MAG, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time as first party titles, plus 3rd party multiplatform titles like Assassins Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, he said:
I feel we have a formidable arsenal. I would find it hard to believe gamers wouldn’t choose a PS3 with this game lineup
And on the PS3 motion controller, announced at Sony’s press conference on Tuesday:
We have more experience with spatial motion gaming. There are limitations and our experience gives us that appreciation.
Tretton, who co-hosted the Sony press conference with SCEI president Kaz Hirai, made several announcements during the show, including Gran Turismo 5, The Last Guardian, the secret Rockstar exclusive Agent and Final Fantasy XIV, which was undoubtably the announcement of E3. Demos of Uncharted 2 and MAG were also shown.

E3 2009: You’ll Be Able to Play The Last Guardian “sooner then later”
Posted in E3 2009, PlayStation 3 with tags E3 2009, Fumito Ueda, PlayStation 3, Shuhui Yoshida, Team ICO, The Last Guardian, TRICO on June 4, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen
In an exclusive interview with Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has said that The Last Guardian is coming along nicely and that we could be playing it “sooner then later”. The game, revealed on Tuesday night to be Fumito Ueda and Team ICO’s first PS3 game, is gonna be shown more now that the game is up and playable:
When I teased them about being the Olympic Team [a reference to four-year gaps between Team Ico’s games], I thought that would suggest a limit of Christmas this year. But we’ll be able to show more now because the game is running and the team is creating more and more content, and you’ll be able to play it sooner rather than later.
Yoshida, who is a suprevisor on the project, did state he was disapointed that the concept trailer for the game leaked before E3
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. Maybe there’s a reason the person who leaked it waited until just before E3. But the reason we didn’t show early footage was because the team wanted to feel comfortable that the vision they created could be delivered. So everything we showed here was from the game engine, and they’ve got to the point where they know they can make this game and can see how it’ll be completed.
Some new screens of the game, the first not taken from both concept and debut trailers, were released earlier today. We’ll try and get them from SCEE and have them up on the site asap.
