I never said it was gloom and doom for Sony. I would like for Sony to stay in the competition; however, you are not aware of Activision's business model.
The company may be able to produce a greater return on investment by reallocating funds from Sony platforms to other areas. My point is, it's not as black and white as some "overly enthusiastic" playstation fans make it seem.
I just think it's funny that some posters challenge the business competence of a CEO. lol When it seems most do not have a solid understanding of how businesses actually work.
The goal of a company is profit maximization...Sure, Activision makes money from its Sony platform projects, but who is to say Activision cannot make more money from investing those resources to other platforms? and projects?
If Activision believes it can achieve a sustainable greater return on investments by abandoning Sony platforms....what basis does anyone on these boards have to question it? Unless they are a member of the company.....which I doubt

Thebest they'd be able to do is make a new game for the 360. And that would probablly cost more than a Ps3 version of a CoD game. And do you think they think they can sell more copies of a new game on the 360 then a Ps3 version of CoD?

I am not aware of the production costs/overhead Activision would require to port a PS3 game; and I am not aware of how Activision would reallocate its resources if it did abandon Sony platforms...
But I think it is apparent that some developers are sending subtle hints to the market that maybe the PS3 needs cheaper development costs and lower risks (which could be achieved by getting more consoles into the market).
For example, when mutiplatform titles release and the PS3 version is obviously inferior...I think it's evident that developers do not want to incur the additional resources required to create a product on par with the 360 version.
