So, M$ must have paid the same truckload plus $1 to get it before IOS and Android.

Even if your desir to bash MS is huge; you may want to at least check your facts before to do so...
Plants vs Zombies 2 is not available on any Microsoft platforms... Why would they pay for anything related to it?

I LOL'd. 

Landguy is far from a MS basher. He is one of those who goes against people who attack MS.

You need to check facts too.

yah he was joking, got that later :)

But he was wrong anyway hehe PvZ2 is not on Xbox yet (I'm actually waiting for it... And hopes it will come eventually, not sure if it will be on Xbox One or not)

I'm... shocked he just came right out and said this.

Has anybody said this... and in such blunt terms?

Well. I always admire this kind of transparent honesty.

What I got from this, basically, is that MS must have paid a truckload of money to delay the PS4 version of Titanfall.
Not saying they did... Just a hunch.

The fact EA came out and said that Battlefront and Titanfall are replacing Medal of Honor in their next gen shooter cycle I would say your hunch has a good chance at holding water.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

UPDATE: Apple is denying the substance of the comments made by Gibeau.

Fishy business.

The question that remains is: Which of the two has any reason to lie about this?

I admired his honesty at first, but then I saw he said it to a bunch of EA employees. So I guess it's not that shocking, just slightly surprising that it got out.

Let's see... either Apple is lying because it's bad for their image to admit that they did this, or Gibeau is lying because he really delayed the Android version out of sheer Apple fanboyism and is just trying to look like a half-competent businessman in front of his employees. I'm going with the latter!
