Sony will be fighting tooth and nail to compete with Microsoft's Xbox live download service when the console is launched in the US on November 17th. In an interview with Eurogamer, Sony have revealed that they are developing 40 games for their Playstation Network Platform.

"We're seeing an emerging strength in developers creating games specifically for downloadable content. We're seeing that as a really interesting way of stimulating creativity, experimentation... And it makes me feel as excited as about the games that we saw at the beginning of PS1, when there was a lot of really interesting innovation happening in the marketplace. I think we'll see that on PlayStation 3 as well."

Sony haven't revealed any of the new titles, but rumours suggest that amongst those games will be fl0w, God of War and Calling all Cars (Criminal Crackdown).

Sony believe that their online service will surpass Microsoft's efforts, but with over 4 million subscribers to to Xbox live, Sony have a lot of catching up to do.
