Yup, and they're jumping ship and joining the 360 army!

You know, it seems like Sony is making similar mistakes to the ones Nintendo made in its heyday.

I should've posted the BBC feature from last week on this news, but I can't find it. Also the PS3 architecture is proving really f*cking hard to program for.

True, I mean, as with all gambles, it could prove to pay off in the end.
