While he's correct in principal and Microsoft really seems to be taking this too far, most of his comments make him sound like he's complaining that Sony can't buy exclusive content for multiplat games, which is equally stupid.

not for me :)

especially when sony usually get's the "inferior" version when it come's to multiplat game's

1) The PS3 getting inferior versions of multiplats is Sony's own fault. They wanted to use a hardware architechture that is harder to develop for than a PC or 360, and this is the price they pay.

2) Sony is complaining that Microsoft are stopping them from buying exclusive content, but Microsoft does this so their own customers won't be cheated. It's just a tug of war and Sony's complaining that Microsoft is trying to pull against them.

Are Microsoft going about this the wrong way? I believe so. But complaints like "I think what Chris and the other representatives at Microsoft are doing is protecting an inferior technology." are completely unnecessary, because it's completely besides the point.

He does have valid points though, but most of all it just comes off as mudslinging.
