| binary solo said: But Batman: Arkham Assylum had exclusive PS3 content on the disc didn't it? |
if you go back to the original quote from Rob Dyer:
"And that’s a huge problem with them. It first started on the smaller pubs, and we can talk about what’s happened on XBL and the policy they have there that requires publishers to have a whole litany of things in order to get onto their network or they have to go through and be published by Xbox, by Microsoft, which essentially lets them dictate how long they’ll be exclusive and whether or not they own the IP, etc, etc....
...Here’s the thing... It's now progressed to not just be these smaller indie pubs that are obviously very easy to kick around. It’s moved up the food chain. It’s gone to B and A level publishers to where Microsoft now demands - they sent out something, and I’m reading directly from this - and I’m sure you’ve seen this: 'Should content not be shipped simultaneously with competing platforms in all regions where the content is available, or should the content and features available on the Xbox 360 not be in parity with versions on competing platforms, then Microsoft reserves the right to not allow that content to be published for Xbox 360 or released on Xbox Live marketplace.' "
so don't immediatly jump to the big big publishers like activision/EA/Ubisoft. think mostly of the smaller guys so far at least.
