During a D.I.C.E. Summit presentation made today Sony’s Phil Harrison responded to thoughts from developers that developer support for the Xbox 360 was far better than that of the Xbox 360 and called the launch of the console “phenomenal.”

Never a loss for words Phil Harrison has a Q&A session with Newsweek’s N’Gal Croal who is the tech and games journalist for Newsweek.

He responded to critics stating that the developer support for the Xbox 360 is leading the way over the PS3.

“There’s no point in me being defensive about that. If that’s what people are saying, then there has to be some truth to it,” he conceded. “We can always do a better job. We can always provide better tools, we can always provide better documentation, we can always provide better service.”

He also commented on the accusation that developers received Sony documentation in Japanese which would slow down the development process. Harrison stated that if this is true “I think that it’s a myth that we provide documentation in Japanese. It’s just not true,” he argued. “I don’t know where that came from. In fact, most of the key components for the PlayStation 3 are from English language parts of the world. … It’s just a complete myth that we drop the Japanese language on developers.”

He also called the PS3 launch phenomenal by any measure.

"We have supplied the market with more products in , Asia and the than we did the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, and more software than PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2,” Harrison said. Sizing up the high volume of product shipped to criticisms of the PS3’s launch, he asked, “So, what’s wrong with this picture?”
