Microsoft claim best games line-up

Speaking with Videogamer this week, Microsoft's Xbox Live European boss Jerry Johnson has said that the Xbox 360 will win out over the festive season because it sports the best games line-up.

"I'll come back and say that Xbox has the best games out there. It's got the best first-person shooter games out there. The exclusives we've had over the past years and what we had going into this holiday prove the point that this is still very much at its heart a gaming console," Johnson offered, presumably steering the conversation towards more 'casual matters'.

"There's nothing we're going to change with that. You will start to see us, though, do things that are broader marketing and start to expose some of the things that are broader than just first-person shooters." Ah yes.

"There's nothing we're going to change that's going to not focus on those customers more. In fact, not just this year but in the next year, we'll continue to do features that are targeted at that hardcore gamer. At the same time we are going to start to do things that appeal to both the hardcore gamer and the broader user, and continue to do things and start to do more targeted at the broader user specifically."

More soon.
