@Aiemond : if they did cut support for PS3 (which already wouldn't make sense since they would loose money on it), Sony could cut them a lot of things in retaliation, like songs in guitar hero, or spiderman games...

Even if they wanted to do that, Actibliz would loose a lot of money from too many sides...

This 'threat' has been commented by multiple analysts and by Bioware. Everybody said it didn't make sense, it's a bluff.

It's a 'bluff' to ask for a price cut. Kotick knows PS3 would sell a lot more at a lower price, so he just wants more millions for Actibliz.

Sony does not work like that. Why do we even see those things on 360 if they play like that. The divisions are independent. And mario64, what have the analysts gotten right this gen? From the start to now most of the predictions and "analysis" has been wrong.

 

@leo-j: The context of the article is the price of the ps3. If he is going to cut ps2 then the rev are either way down or he expects by that time they will be way down. I do think it is a bluff, but the fact that they can do it and prolly lose only 10% rev (and it would be less than that as money from those projects would be put into other ones that could return profit) gives it a bit more teeth since it hurts Sony more than activision.
