@ MM - Yes I'm already aware of your argument, and I'm saying it's pants. Sony are still paying for exclusives and limiting people playing them.

Sony directly funding a game =/= giving 3rd parties a check to make sure the game doesn't appear on the competition's console.

Your spin is ridiculous. To compare Sony actually putting their own manpower behind to a game to simply paying cash....is stupid, to say the least. What? Do you want Sony to send their teams of people to help develop a unique game, only to put it on the Xbox?

I mean, technically, by those means, they are "hypocrites", but you are really, REALLY grasping at straws. Hell....Uncharted 2 could've been developed for the 360 (maybe not be the game it is, but developed nonetheless), but it's a Sony studio that Sony pays for. They are therefore preventing other from playing their games. HYPOCRITES!!!

It's not the means it's the ends. Sony are paying for an exclusive just as Microsoft are, I don't care about which route they take, and no I don't want them to put them on Xbox.

 

 

You might as well say your girlfriend (or boyfriend) is a whore if they sleep with you after you buy them dinner.  You paid the money, right?

 

There is such a thing as oversimplifying to the point that you are stuffing your fingers in your ears and ignoring reality.

 

There is a basic difference between investing in a small company that has an idea but no way to execute it, and investing in a huge public company that already had the budget and plan of making a bunch of games, and is already famous for making great games in the past. To say otherwise is to basically ignore all of modern capitalism.

I pointed that out in my post a few back, and as you can guess it makes me feel like it was all worth while when I see it completely ignored and not responded to, so we can continue to trade one liners back and forth until everybody decides to go play a video game instead.
