Some of you hear are taking it personally.   It's not personal, and I doubt Sony paid any cash.

Rarely does Sony actually pay for bonuses like this.




Instead, Sony typically will employ other "back end" incentives such as charging lower royalty rates for a period of time. So in this way it makes sense that EA would want to push a bit harder on the platform that nets them the most profit per unit sale.
Afterall, this is why Call Of Duty games are pushed harder on XBOX 360 vs the other consoles and PC versions....Activision makes more money per 360 copy sold.

Also what alot of people seem to forget, is Sony has 3 platform's that it can leverage in this way. This is especially important to a publisher like EA who make their games on multiple platforms spanning multiple generations (PS2 + PSP, and soon to be VITA).
Ergo: EA makes more money with Sony than with Microsoft.


Like I said, it's rare that Sony actually pays cash for extra content incentives like this.
