Random quotes about this development:
"Sony publishing Ghostbusters in Europe just strikes me as hilarious. Part of that might be that I'm not really out anything - I don't live there. It's purely a thought exercise unfolding in a theoretical expanse. I seem to recall the official Sony position being that to secure this kind of exclusive was an immoral act of almost bestial desperation, but maybe that's only when other companies do it." -Tycho Brahe
"That didn't take long. Zootfly has confirmed that Sony Pictures has had all references to Zootfly's Ghostbusters game removed from the Slovenian developer's website. The prototype game was being developed for Xbox 360. In addition, the video of the work-in-progress has been pulled from YouTube." -Joystiq '07 article about Sony's first attempt to keep the game off of the 360
""Ghostbusters: The Video Game from Atari, on the other hand, has been an oft-delayed property that many doubted would see the light of day till last November's press briefing. And now that Sony has stepped in to handle publishing the title in Europe for the PS2 and PS3 (with other editions to arrive later for other consoles in the same region, apparently), who you gonna call when arguments arise to this being non-beneficial to us, the gamers?
"Here's a hint: Not us." -N4G

"Official" (and fan) position seems much more like: it's better to make your own good games. So the bolded part is bullshit, stated that way (WRONGLY) to attack Sony. Sony fans have also been pissed when it seemed like 360 somehow stopped PS3 fans from getting a game for a time. Rightly so.
360 fans can now be pissed only if they admit it was legit for PS3 fans to be pissed about the same things.
As for the timing of the announcement, that comes down to Atari accepting it. Is anyone suggesting MS wouldn't try to do the same out of some kind of chivalry? Bullshit.

Doesn't it all? I think the thread would be more accurate if you swapped "Atari" for "Sony".
