Nope, Sony doesn't have the same thing as MS. Its mainly devs adding new content to make people want to get a game that's been out for so long on another system and is probably cheaper atm. Many 360 games have come over just as they were and were able to release, just look at Limbo.

And with the original Joe Danger, the devs talked about how they couldn't bring it to the 360 because of MS's policies. They had to do a new version ("special edition" which had new modes, characters and such) get get the OK.

So yes, because they wanted to go multiplat and due to MS' policies, they had to delay it.

No Sony doesn't have something similar. Sony doesn't have anything in place that requires a simultaneous release or else delay the game on the other platforms.

If a developer choose to release a game six month later on the PS3 because Microsoft/Nintendo paid them to do, then it only makes sense that game be released with all the DLCs that came out with it during the six months it was out. That's actually looking out for the PS3 gamers who got left out in the first place.

But to require a developer to delay the game on other platforms if they want to ever release it on the Xbox 360 is really a crappy and cheap move in my opinion.

"Titles for Xbox 360 must ship at least simultaneously with other video game platform, and must have at least feature and content parity on-disc with the other video game platform versions in all regions where the title is available," it reads.
"If these conditions are not met, Microsoft reserves the right to not allow the content to be released on Xbox 360."

MS shook up the industry with the 360, but some of their practices this gen have been pretty unsavory. At a corporate level, Microsoft are dicks.

thats not why wiiu isnt selling good enough. You only have to look at all the devs and nintendo saying its not where it should be

As for MS and sony rule you have to have it come out with 3 months of the other console or add to the game extra. So maybe ubisoft didnt wanna put dlc or whatever extra

Its a tough economy...RIP THQ

Ubisoft needed to push all the right buttons to stay profitable and they have done a great job.

The higher ups at Ubisoft know what they are doing....

Just look a AC III: Liberation amidst launching with AC III and CoD Black Ops 2, which some said was suicidal, yet sold out 600,000 units beyond their expectations.

They just want Rayman to sell very well on 5 consoles...because if it doesn't sell well this time Rayman will be in trouble.

OOT:

"Sony: PS4's main selling point will be 'new playing options, not improved hardware specs"

As Sony Computer Entertainment warms up its blue lighting and double-checks its playlist for February 20th, one unnamed SCE official says that the PlayStation 4 will act as more of a home entertainment hub than what we've seen in the past. They added, according to the Nikkei, that the main selling point won't be the rumored eight-core AMD64 CPU or other hardware specs, but how it opens up new styles of play -- something Nintendo is also focusing on. Sony is going to push the new console as a home entertainment "nerve center," with a focus on the hardware's ability to connect and share to mobile devices -- the rival that's pulling gamers away from traditional consoles. No discussion on any Gaikai-powered cloud gaming just yet, but following its unveiling later this month, the report states that the new PlayStation should launch before the end of the year. A bit of a shame, then, that it's still only February.
