Scott McCarthy, senior brand manager for Sony's MLB: The Show, has said that the platform holder is prioritising PS3-only in-game content over PS3 exclusive titles.

Asked by Scrawl FX if the company is still working with third parties to secure exclusives, he said:

"We work very closely with our 3rd parties publishers, not necessarily to lock down games exclusively, but to lock up exclusive parts of games. A good example is Batman: Arkham Asylum, where you could only play as the Joker on PlayStation 3.

"When you make a title exclusive, you limit its promotional power; we don't want to do that. We want games to be as big as possible - it's great for the industry.

"However," he added, "we want to make sure that you play it on the best system possible, so we like to take parts of games and make them exclusive to the PlayStation system."

Sony hasn't been shy in bragging about having at least 20 PS3 exclusives this year. Although they're largely first party games, the list is pretty impressive.

Those Joker levels were pretty weak :(
