Sony exec says PS3 games won't work on 360

While hilariously bragging about the PS3's groundbreaking online distribution plans, some Sony exec decided to talk trash about their first-party games:

"Certainly being able to sell globally on-line makes it easier to reach international and remote markets," said John Hight, Director of External Production at SCEA Santa Monica. "On the business side, it also lowers our cost of sales and eliminates inventory risk. It should help curtail used game sales and piracy."

He added a few more points, saying "This new form of distribution will lower the barriers of entry for new developers."

"We can try out new ideas in a low risk, quick feedback environment."

Sony is looking for fresh game ideas that will release the true power of the PS3.

"Our first party projects are all unique to PS3. Some of our games, by virtue of their design and hardware demands, simply couldn't work on Xbox 360."

Plus they come in a PS3 box.
