microsoft has published other games that were on the computer (braid, which even went to other consoles later) so i have trouble believing this is the entire story.

Braid was on the 360 first, though. And it stayed exclusive for a good 6-9 months.

But he hit the nail on the head, there is obviously much more to this story.  MS just isn't airing the dirty laundry like this guy is.  How could he expect them to publish something that wasn't exclusive to the platform?  They could go to any 3rd party publisher if they want it released on multiple systems right off.

Sorry, I don't see what MS did wrong here and I'd be very surprised if SCE says "sure, we'll publish it even if you release it on the 360 at the same time" ...
