@Barighm : Game publishers have to pay the platform owner licensing fees to put their games on the platform. The platform owner doesn't pay the game publisher a licensing fee. I mean holy crap. The console manufacturer can pay for exclusive content but they don't pay publishers to put multiplat games on their console. Publishers pay them. The planform holder gets a cut for every game sold on their platform. How the hell do you think consoles make money? Microsoft is not going to charge Sony for the privilege of having their game on PlayStation. They will have to pay Sony. Sony will have to give up nothing. Why do you think Sony is whining about having fewer COD sales on their platform? If Microsoft was making some kind of unreasonable demand, you could bet your life that Sony would mention that in their complaint as the only real example of their worries they would have.
