Not really as interesting as it sounds since "playable" doesn't mean "polished" or, you know, "good". It's nice that they've got double the stock since E3 and TGS is probably wildly important to Sony (possibly more so than E3). A broad launch would help cost concerns and Blu-Ray worries, but a killer app would go a lot farther ... and so far there doesn't seem to be one emerging.
Still, the Sony news seems to be getting more positive as the launch gets closer.
Update: I think Reuters may have to doublecheck it's facts on this one. Perhaps not all 27 are PS3 titles (or not all are playable?).
