Obviously they want money, so it's their fault for not releasing it on XBLA.with a publisher.

Trials HD sold over 500k digital copies for example. Even with a third party publisher Hello Games would have made tons of money from an XBLA release.

Yea, compare it to a run-away success, because it also has bikes so it must be able to match that success *facepalm*

Hello games definitely favored security over possible success here and in their view there was a higher chance to break even (to not die after their first game for fucks sake) on PSN - who are you to criticize them for that decision?

...The fact his venom is mis-placed?

He never praised the PSN market...Only attacked XBLA. He wasn't arguing from a position of strength by explaining 'PSN is better because of X, Y and Z', only that XBLA was bad because of A, B and C.
