GTA Creator Doubts Sony’s Online Gaming Plan

The jabs at Sony just keep on coming. But as they say, you gotta roll with the punches.

Recently, Grand Theft Auto creator Dave Jones has divulged that he’s not convinced about Sony‘s online gaming strategy and that beating MS’ Xbox Live is a long-shot. He mentions in an Edge magazine interview that he “seriously questions Sony’s policy of leaving it down to publishers to come up with their own standards for each [online] game.”

He elaborated his statement by saying that “I completely disagree with it. I’m not going to put my credit card details with five different companies for some bits of downloadable content. Sony is a huge force, and definitely has been with the PS2 – but now I see it being, at worst, a 50/50 race, but as time goes on I lean more and more towards Microsoft.”

Jones, leaning towards MS, isn’t surprising since he is currently working on a Xbox 360 title- Crackdown. Both companies, Sony and MS, have become formidable forces in the game console arena, it would definitely be exciting to watch them wiggle their way out of their troubles and match-up in the coming console wars.
