Microsoft have had their cheque book out again.
They are currently snapping up all the developers, Naughty Dog, Cerny,
Munchworld etc, all signed up for 'exclusive' X-Box only deals.

Now why would anyone want to cut off their one source of income for a
console that doesn't launch for another year? Because they are being paid
to! That leaves Sony with a dilema. They can either pay even bigger bucks to
keep the best developers, or reduce the cost of the development and
licensing system and let some lesser quality developers release some lesser
quality works.

Discuss!  (ie, I am playing devil's advocate here! So please don't flame me!
Unless your name is Spyro)

.ps. Is it just me or are their LOADS of Crash Bandicoot symbols, shapes,
animations (especially death animations) and sounds in the new Spyro: Year
of the dragon.
