Yeah yeah, thanks Sony, like its not a coincedence this happens slap bang in the middle of the X360 launch. 
+1 Kudos for the making a popular console
-2 Kudos for ramming it down our throats yet again because you feel threatened. |

"Our throats"? That message is aimed squarely in the larynx of developers. Translation: "You can put your resources into the Crashbox, with its anemic market share..."
"Or you can develop for the big boys." |

I'd disagree, developers know full well where to put their time and money and any title they develop now for X360 will easily port to PS3 when the dev kits come out. I'd be surprised if anyone would start a mainstream project on the PS/Xbox platform now.
Sony's sole purpose for this announcement is to draw some attention away from MS and the x360. They can't compete but they sure can score some points. Good business practice some might say, I personally think its a sign of how they can't sell a product without bashing everyone elses.
They got very comfy with the PS1 which frankly was an outstanding product which sold itself. Now they are facing more competition you can see how they struggle to differenciate themselves. Even the uber gfx and super cell cpu lines are wearing a little thin, bring on the spin doctors. |
