See EA aren't evil like Activison, they are happy for Sony's success because they know it means good things for them, especially with FIFA coming in October

I can assure you Activision is also happy for the price cut ;)

Well of course they are, but the way that they felt like they could demand a price cut... they are evil, but that is a different point

Business is ugly... I see Activision's statements as putting pressure on Sony and simultaneously making themselves look influential, as they probably knew the price cut was likely to come anyway.

What does it achieve though? The people who read that are hardcore gamers, who know that a price cut is coming anyway, and that it is an empty threat from that just makes gamers like me pissed off with them. Yeah, I'm still getting Modern Warfare 2, but there's no way I getting Blur or any other Activison titles that I was considering buying
