Sony is getting the best marketing they could ask for and it's totally for free. They have a huge chance right here to show off something good in E3 and reel in a lot of disgruntled people into their corner, that is, if their approach to DRM isn't as overblown as Microsoft's. If it's more or less the same many people will be hugely disappointed. |

One thing I think is funny though is that Microsoft finally put a Blu-ray drive into their console. So wouldn't Sony make a cut from every XBOne console/game sold? |
| scarmullet:
Blu-ray isn't Sony's invention per-se. It was invented by a group of companies called the Blu-ray Disc association which comprises of 19 companies including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, Intel, Sony and Sharp. The association gets the money, and that money is dived up between the 19 companies...so if Sony made money on every Xbox One sold, it would be very small. |

That said, I severely doubt that either is trying to pay off developers. That's like mob mentality right there, not to mention how much potential that has to hurt the developers and publishers in the long run. Sounds like schoolyard rumor to me. --- End quote --- IT actually sounds very possible if you ask me devs being payed off to not show there games for one day, that wont come out for a year or So! they will have many chances to show there new games, but that one chance to get payed a lump sum, We already know microsoft is suffering a ton of bad press! and have been muting comments, flaging negitive comments and dissabling comments all together on youtube and other such sites, and one of there latest pr stunts while trying explain the DRM seemed to try and push blame on the devs, and publishers! so we know microsoft is not to good to play dirty! its also been confimed that microsoft has highered people to down vote negitive comments, upvote possitive ones, and post positive ones on sites such as blip! so I dont see how its not believable that microsoft would do this!!! |

it's not a bad move - they're investing a billion dollars into exclusives for this machine noone wants right now, and they will also be paying for multiplats to be advertised only for their platform. even if they're still multiplats. smart if you ask me, games are what'll be the deciding factor in the end. also keeping my fingers crossed sony doesn't squander this head start by announcing any shit that'll be likened to what microsoft is doing. |
