Steinberg - Sony's 2009 is "relentless and AAA quality"

SCEA marketing chief Scott Steinberg's claimed 2009 will deliver an unremitting bombardment of high quality product from Sony, and that Killzone 2 is the game that will trigger many to buy a PS3.

"We're shipping a great lineup and it's relentless and AAA quality," Steinberg told GameDaily.

"Starting it with Killzone 2, we're going to arrest the momentum from competitors with titles like MLB 09: The Show, which some are calling the best sports title ever made.

"Then in summer there's inFamous and you'll get to see even more excellent titles at E3. If PlayStation fans thought that we'd rest on our laurels from last year and if competitors thought that we'd punched ourselves out, both are mistaken."

He added, probably shouting: "We feel that Killzone 2 is a tremendous exclusive. It's an exclamation point that demonstrates the distance between the PS3 and other systems. The game is 40 gigs and could not be done on anything else. It will move people from the sidelines, and from what we've seen from blogs, will push 360 owners to try out the PS3. I think it's going to be a major launch for us and this historical PlayStation brand."

Hear Scott roar. Thanks, Joystiq.
