“Microsoft has had a much more lenient policy to writing cheques than we do,” he said. “We don’t feel the need to write cheques necessarily with every publisher, like they did with the Lost and Damned and some other titles, because we feel very strongly in our first-party line-up. “I think it’s safe to say that we’d put our first-party line-up against anyone’s, and Microsoft and other manufacturers probably lead a little bit when they’re writing cheques about how they feel about their own internal line-up.”

          "Lenient" really meaning "because we can't aford to this Gen otherwise we would". 

 

           Well, at least he didnt come out and deny the fact that Sony wrote a lot of checks during the PS2 era, because they could actually aford it then....:).  Something MS has the ability to do this Gen.
