Um...no. If Sony sells a larger amount of consoles than MS and gains they majority of multiplat gamers whom they and MS have always been after by default they would get preferential treatment without paying a dime to EA. Thats how it was back in the PS2 era. MS had to pay EA to keep their launch attractive in Europe, because they know Sony has an natural advantage there. Microsoft is now the official brand of the NFL....four hundred million goes a long way. In reality its any mans game, Microsoft is paying to get the edge on commercial perception, when the reality is in terms of multiplats they are virtually equal and price will be the key as to why there might be a disparity in the beginning.

The systems are not even out yet. You guys on here are counting your chickens like they have already hatched.

Then lets wait and see. I only stated the events of the PS2 era which lead to Sony getting preferential treatment solely because of demand and not needed to pay. They don't need to pay, the people make that decision and Sony is hoping they side with them. Thats all they can do because they will not pay to be treated better than Microsoft. The only time I remember that happening was when they paid Rockstar fifty million to keep GTA as a timed exclusive on a three game contract. In the early 2000's that was a lot of money, but not so much anymore.
