Well there you go.. need I say more :)

CerebralAssassin4858d ago

Lets all point and laugh at the tools poor attempt to be cool.

SilentNegotiator4858d ago

Since you didn't make a point at all....yes, consider saying more.

lodossrage4858d ago

That's just the way Microsoft owned Skype is available on the Playstation Vita.

iamnsuperman4858d ago

Also isn't crackle on the 360 and that is owned by Sony

Emilio_Estevez4858d ago

Let us not forget all the Sony computers with Windows on them as well.

Reverent4858d ago

Agreed. I think the presidents of both companies are having secret affairs with each other but they have to keep their companies looking like rivals to keep suspicion down, but every now and then, something slips, and these apps show up for their respective rival's devices as a by-product. Lol.

truewittness4857d ago

that's totally different:
Sony put the app on Xbox LIVE.
Microsoft didn't put Windows on Sony's computers. Sony paid Microsoft to license the use of Windows on their computers.

claud34858d ago

So two work together to compete with one another..... Odd :)

lodossrage4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

It's been like that for longer than most people realize. But it's going to get blown out of proportion (like most things are) and made out to seem like more ( or less) than it really is

RivetCityGhoul4858d ago

sony onced worked with nintendo, microsoft onced worked with sega. while at the same time competing with each other this is nothing new

TekoIie4858d ago

Nah this isnt trolling. Its more like lacking a brain that thinks properly...

TheColbertinator4858d ago

Sony and Microsoft work together more in the industry than most can ever imagine.Sony Pictures,SonyBMG,Sony Aniplex and dozens of other Sony owned media companies including Crackle all sell on Xbox Live marketplace and Zune store.

Windows OS is found on Sony's VAIO,Sony Ericsson phones and Skype runs on the PSP and Vita,not to mention tons of other Sony devices.Sony VAIO also allows the Windows name to sell in Asian markets including Japan and South Korea.

Reverent4858d ago

Just goes to show that people can work together more harmoniously than fanboys would like to believe.

Trevonn4858d ago

You people use the 'Windows is on Sony's laptops' like they have a choice and Windows doesn't have a complete monopoly in terms of operating systems. Any hardware manufacturer of desktop and laptop computers is forced to use Windows and Windows alone.

dark-hollow4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

The point is Sony and ms will cooperate if it made sense in business. Just like how apple still get iPhone parts from Samsung even though they are direct competitors.

that's why obnoxious fanboys aren't CEOs (not talking about you)

MySwordIsHeavenly4858d ago

I wonder how Samsung feels about that now...

They seem to be going for the throat with those S III commercials.

deletingthis346753344857d ago

Apple begs to differ, oh and Sony has a business relationship with MS. Skype has an app available for the PSVita. Just saying.

Trevonn4856d ago

And apples market share in desktops and laptops is what?
Also how many applications are windows only espiicially in the gaming area.

Loved Ecco on Megadrive/Genesis. Diving out of the water was always a fun feeling, and the whole 'vibe' while playing/exploring was pretty chill and special.

Always hoped we'd get a proper 3D sequel with modern-tech water-graphics and physics. (Same wish for Wave Racer btw).

Rebel_Scum1d 20h ago

It was pretty chill until you get to the last 2 or 3 levels. My god Welcome to the Machine was brutal.

killagram1d 14h ago

You can always play an emulated Ecco: Defender of the Future on Flycast, or if you have a real Dreamcast play it there.

fr0sty1d 9h ago

This makes me smile. I hope that the game and especially the soundtrack keep the same relaxed vibe.

Rebel_Scum1d 20h ago

That is amazing news. Keep it level based or metroidvania but dont go the roguelike route and it should be good.

Pergele1d 18h ago

Now do Shining Force, the small but passionate fanbase wants a new game so badly.

jznrpg1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

That brings me back. I know I have a couple copies on Sega consoles but they’re in a box somewhere.
I may check out a new game if done well
