Q-bert? You mean that cute orange guy who jumps on blocks? That is owned by Sony..??

I dunno if Sony and MS would like to support each other, haha... They aren't friends, and business is about making money, and not helping each other out. They probably do better through competition, which ends up being better for the consumer.

The two own a lot of patents and software so they already have a working relationship.

Minecraft being multiplat shows there are benefits of supporting a competitor. Q Bert may be Sony testing the water.

Minecraft is that sort of weird exception while it does belong to MS, it originally didn't, and since it was already on Sony consoles there wasn't really much they can do. Since you're already in that deep, may as well go all the way, haha.

Qbert kind of falls into the same grey area, since it was on many platforms before, so Qbert doesn't seem like a stranger to the idea of going to other platforms. Other than that, I don't really see that situation happening that much.

Well I think the primary reason Minecraft is staying multiplat is the profits on other platforms are amazing and its not the kind of game that can move a significant amount of hardware in my opinion. If Minecraft isnt on a platform then a dozen clones appear as well.

I cant think of any reason why Sony wants Q Bert on Xbox. It just seems like a test to me.
