[...] Bobby Kotick’s choice words for Sony sparked outrage amongst PS3 fans, and quickly became one of the most controversial subjects of the summer. The outspoken CEO suggested Activision would drop support for PlayStation if Sony didn’t lower the price point on the PlayStation 3. The glare of the corporate flames shine a light on what is actually a very bold statement, coming from a publisher responsible for some of this years most expensive video games. Basically Activision has a lot of nerve. [...]

What Sony should do is get more first party and indie developers working for the Playstation brand, instead of lazy ass greedy publishers and devs. Sony are good at it! Just look @ the diversity and quality of 1st party games, both, current PS3/PSP library and upcoming games. M$ can’t say that! So does Nintendo (sadly, in my opinion, Nintendo’s quality has decreased over the recent years). Most of 360′s in house games are either shooters, b-games dressed as aaa games. The same can be said to PSN vs. XBLA games, and no, quantity doesn’t make up for quality.
So basicallly SCREW YOU NAZIVISION!!! Sony get full support from Harmonix so we can get exclusive and better content from the RB brand (BTW: RB:The Beatles owns GH5 by far), who needs COD/MW games when we can have MAG, Soccom, The Agency or any new IP sony can make! And finally, Skate owns Tony Hawk anyways.

@Kyle P

Sony gets attention in this case. It’s really up to Sony to use this as a pro. NatziVision ramble is actually good since Sony might make a move.Yes, i feel it should not be forced because than others will follow. many people say Microsoft paid Nativision to say this. how credible is that? Some have gone out on a limb and said Sony paid NaziVision to play reverse psychology. Natzivision boss knows something we dont. its random news and it makes no sense with only THEM making flow. And regardless what he says, we know Natzivision can’t ignore Sony, 40% is alot of market share. Every time Sony’s starts moving and fixes issues a random blast of anti-momentum appear. You being a writer, im sure you read that article where Sony stated “the only exclusives you can count are on your own”. Sadly, there correct. Do you remember when Natzivision nearly went to hell in the 90′s, and they were a worthless nobody company? NatziVision statement is like a car with a Billion doors, it can be looked at from a Billion point of views , In essence, it is also like a car with no engine or a steering wheel, even if it could find the correct answer, it would be pointless to do so.

Many people (specially at GAF) are speculating that this is just a ploy by Activision to make more money (duh)….Because if Sony lowers their console price, Microsoft / Nintendo will almost be forced to lower their respective consoles. This, in turn, means more consoles sold, which means more games sold, which means a higher profit margin for Activision.

Well since the original Playstation came from a fallout of R&D between Nintendo and Sony I doubt we will see the super JP alliance. But man I wish they would just put the smack down on MS. I remember when games use to come from JP and we would wait for them to be translated and now so many development studios are in America and the quality has fallen. Sorry off topic, but so true.
