Well said Sony.

Good thing this is a net forum so you can type - since your mouth seems to be busy right now.

Isn't this called free enterprise.

If you don't like what someone is doing, you have to compete directly or differently. Either offer money or provide a reason that the money is not a sufficient incentive.

Maybe Sony could save some money by eliminating PR posts -- or at least take the advice of Forge News.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Thank you microsoft for continuing to provide me with great games and content! Your competitors have failed to do that, so i am glad that you have!

The "best exclusive games of 2008" award says you're wrong.  The current 2009 exclusive games list says you'll probably be wrong again.

 

 

the games in my collection and whats available says i am right

 

Unfortunately, as we move on into 2009 this is getting to be more and more of a fringe fanboy stance toward reality.



 

I kind of like this guy, because he's crazy and trying to do things American style, which is not just to suggest how you're winning (hard to do when you're getting your butt kicked in America) but to somehow suggest that your opponent is feeling inadequate.

That said, he's still pretty minor leagues compared to some of the Microsoft masters, and probably hurts Sony in the business world by sounding bitchy compared to the more confident sounding MS.

I can't imagine most investors distinguish between paying a third party company for something they would have made anyway, and recruiting and maintaining a first party company to do something that often wouldn't have existed without your involvement.

"and Microsoft and other manufacturers probably lead a little bit when they’re writing cheques about how they feel about their own internal line-up."

Other manufacturers? I can't see anyone accusing Nintendo of moneyhatting. Nintendo's problem if anything is that they put too little pressure on devs.

So maybe he means Apple? Anyone heard rumours that Apple moneyhatted? Also, this is a good day for the Iphone if that was who he was refering to - you know you've entered the big league when others start talking shit about you

 

apple does kinda do that with flash ram they buy so much it bends prices.... also they bought up a few arm chip designers (what powers ipods/iphones and crusie missles) .... oh and what become osx was once Nextstep.... um and Itunes it was someone elses..... final cut too..... hmmm and that new distributed version of final cut was a more recent aquisition ....

 

dont get me wrong i love apple but the go out and buy then improve and release alot of times even the original mac os was part of a purchase deal for stock from xerox.

 

 

I

They can't help that their flash based products are so popular

The company NeXT was founded by Steve Jobs when he was kicked out of Apple. It then merged with Apple upon Steve Jobs' return.

Itunes was indeed based on code that was purchased.

I have no idea about Final Cut, but you're probably right.

 

But that wasn't really the question I was asking. I was more meaning any games that had appeared on Apple platforms that only appeared there, or were only exclusive there because Apple paid the developers

This guy Kollers a headcase.

His job could be in danger coz he was told to shut up....

 

No, that thread was a joke.

I'm starting to wish it was real.

 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Koller is just butthurt all around. Sony should gag order him but then we'd be less entertained by his ramblings.

I like Koller.



Any more when i hear Sony's PR burbs and jabs, slanders and stabs I can only picture then listening to this

 

 

I mean how did they forget how they were able to defeat the Dreamcast, and how they got to be the former market leader….

 

Devs gladly go where the money is flowing like nectar and honey….and right now the is in the Flowering Fields of Microsoft!

Not in Japan it aint. In fact, without anything to back up that statement, I'd say you are way off with that one...
