I can see where he's coming from. The current consoles are at the price range the last generation launched with and they are all 3-4 years old. Could you imagine if the year before the 360's launch the XBox was still $300. Now there's not too big of a chance of new consoles in 2011, but it does exist and I can only imagine where the market will go from here if they do come. These systems have not reached their maximum potential due to high prices, which means games sales haven't either. Really, I think Activision wants to make sure that they aren't being used for the benefit of the console makers.
Now obviously that means they will act like SONY and MS should bend over for them, and that's where they cross the line. When they announce what they want, that's cool, when they tell the console makers how to manage their own products its not. Frankly, Activision won't be satisfied until the console makers come up with a way to give their machines away for free (though only the Arcade is in the position to do this, assuming it was given away with an X year subscription to Live). With an attitude like that, they really can go **** themselves.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
