Yeah.... because Sony would never do that!
Oh wait, they did! http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=189786 |
Comparing this stunt to the comments made about EA are two totally different subjects.
Sony (rightly) criticized EA for trying to make their own subscription plan WITHIN Microsoft's ecosystem, which Sony wasn't about to permit. (it would be like opeing a "store within a store" in a retail shop...the owner of the retail shop has EVERY right to reject that concept!).
Microsoft, on the other hand, violated the trademarks of TWO companies (Activision owns the Destiny name as it pertains to video games, Marilyn Miglin owns the Destiny name for perfume) in an underhanded ploy to counter the advertising blitz that Sony has with the game.
It should also be noted that Sony is not as reliant on EA to sell consoles as Microsoft is to Activision...They NEED Call of Duty to move hardware this fall. If EA gets in a twist about Sony's (accurate) comments, Sony isn't going to care if EA pulls their games from their consoles...Microsoft WILL care if Activision decides not to publish on Xbox, though.
