Why are people blaming Microsoft?

They don't plan on releasing a demo for the West because of poor planning, not because of Microsoft.

If M$ wasn't in the picture, a demo would be in the West, because they wouldn't have to worry about "partly because we are going to carry on with the project alongside the Xbox version, so we really can't just make it available only for the PS3."

That's just as stupid as saying if I got in a wreck at a stoplight because it turned yellow and I slowed down but the person behind me sped up it's the stop lights fault.

There is not a demo in the West because they either just didn't allot for the time or something more important came up.

they have it for the ps3, they can release it now if they want, but they won't because it will be unfair for 360 owners...

Because there's no localization necessary for a Japanese-language demo?

But seriously, demos are supposed to be free.  I'm sure they're not releasing it because they can't sucker as many people into paying ridiculous amounts for a demo as they can in Japan.

Remember when the FFXII demo was a free bonus with DQVIII?  A free bonus?

Although, Konami did charge $50 for the MGS2 demo, only including a bonus copy of Zone of the Enders to soften the blow.
