Ok Kotick so what about dropping the PS3 support? Come on, do it, grow some balls.


What's with the comments like this? Kotick threatened to drop support - if Sony didn't drop the price. Well, Sony dropped the price.  Obviously, Kotick's threat worked and Sony buckled under the pressure.

Note - that last part was a joke. Honestly though, the snide comments about Kotick's threat are completely illogical. It comes off as nothing but sour grapes.

Sony's price drop didn't change anything yet for Activision, those figures would have been the same without the slim.


And what does that have to do with daring Kotick to drop PS3 support now - after he got the price cut he asked for?

Kotick's comment was an empty threat; we all know that. The man is known for saying outrageous things - he's probably the most hated figure in the entire gaming industry right now. However, I'd think the time to make fun of that threat was before the price cut happened.

Lol whatever.  The guy is a complete chucklehead, with utter lack of regard for his employees and customers.  I guess he's "loyal" to his stockholders... except that he's so near-sighted, that his company's stock screams "sell me short!" pretty much every day of the year.

I call that an open invitation to fun-making, at all times. =)  I will clap when I see him booted, although I will be sad for all the people whose jobs he wrecked along the way.  When the giant pillow of WoW, CoD, and GH (non of which were created when Kotick was there) starts to deflate, Activision will fall over like a ton of bricks.  Kotick tramples creativity.  He runs a business only, and I doubt he's inspiring enough to replace good people when they leave -- which they will.
