Microsoft - MS paid them!!!! - View Post

Why is "Game A" not on the PS3? Its because M$ PAID THEM!!!!

 

 

I'm seriously sick of this ridiculous theory. Games are published for the 360 because the publishers feel that they can make more money on the 360 rather than the PS3. MS does not pay every publisher to put there games on their system. The only case was with the GTA IV DLC. Now stop saying the only reason the 360 gets exclusives is because microsoft paid the publishers.

 

Yeah, the internet is full of conspiracy theorists, and this forum is not immune to it.  Whenever Microsoft does anything to insure positive growth of the 360, people whine that there was a payoff involved, that Microsoft is a monopoly that wants everyone to go out of business, waa waa waa.

What people forget is that Sony is the company to beat from the last two generations.  The PS1 and PS2 won their generations by big margins.  So now that the 360 has taken a lot of their market share away and made it a more even playing ground, the fanboys are coming out in droves.  I was personally upset when the PS 1 and 2 took control of the market because they took down some of my favorite machines of all time (Dreamcast, Gamecube, etc.).  I want choice in the market, not all Sony all the time.  In fact, I've bought several Sony products in my lifetime and most of them have ended up being sub par quality.

All I'm saying is that it's not a situation where everyone should be saying "poor Sony, boo hoo".  Sony has plenty of money and they have had plenty of time in the spotlight where they've dominated the competition.  Maybe it's somebody else's turn for awhile.  Nintendo had the same thing happen and they got through it just fine.
