I would really want to see Sony calling this CEO bluff. I REALLY REALLY want him to go up tomorrow or next week and say MW2,GH ...etc will not be released on PS3 because I'm really interested in what choice of a career he is gonna have after this one.

Yes, because saving his company development costs in providing for the last place console is all lose for him...

This is a precarious position...  The DLC alone for CoD outsells Sony's exclusives.  Thus, without more content, they could conceivably sell more exclusives...  But this could prompt more developers to drop Sony.

could you tell me how can you explain to the shareholders the missing % in Profit when the yearly COD, GH are not released on the PS3 ?? in the business world if you cut a profit source you better have something as good or better to replace it

all this is a way to pressure sony to a price cut this is an empty thread I would bet my house(if I had one) if he ever gos throw with it

and BTW what the hell does Sony's games have to do with Act financial ??

They paid Sony $500 million...I think Sony would be in the bigger hurt locker...and I'm sure Activision would focus more on Wii projects.  I'm sure he's locking at EA Active on Wii selling like hotcakes, and thinking...hmmmm.....

doesn't Sony own the rights to the Spiderman movie games as well as James Bond games (I think they own all if not a large part of MGM) so most of that money could be those licenses fees because those games appeared on every machine with a Screen

No...Marvel owns the right to Spider-Man games, not sony, and Marvel signed a deal with Activision.  Now, the game is supposed to follow along with the movie, and that's Marvel's call how that works out, not Sony's.  It would be interesting to have a situation with Sony and Activision fighting, while trying to produce a game, but ultimately, Marvel calls the shot.
