Sony Attacks Microsoft's Publishing Policies
winston18 writes "Sony's vice president of publisher relations has gone on record as saying that Microsoft is protecting an inferior technology with their policies regarding content on Xbox Live Arcade and multiplatform titles. The comments stem from Microsoft's admission that they reserve the right to deny titles on Xbox Live if they launch on the PlayStation Network first."
It really is amazing just how badly microsoft has failed in the console market.
> They blew 4 billion for what was effectively a tie for distant last place with on their first attempt
> They had to pull the first xbox from the market because it was nothing but a bunch of overpriced desktop pc parts thrown in a big ugly black box
> They rushed out the door the poorly designed and defective xbox 360 a year early
> The xbox 360's graphics hardware was so weak that it was called the xbox 1.5
> They piss off their only major first party developer bungie so bad they leave the company
> They are left with just rare(a basketcase), lionhead(and their constant unfulfiled hype), and turn 10(microsoft's failed attempt at creating a gran turismo killer)
> Even with millions of duplicate xbox 360 sold from the rrod fiasco, they still end up in last place in worldwide sales this gen
> And now in 2011 the only thing microsoft has to hype is some piece of crap sony eye toy ripoff
No wonder microsoft is so desperate.
