Lawsuit open season: MS to sue Sony over fact sheet

sony fact sheet

Hmmm… it seems that Sony is getting itself in another lawsuit. This time, Sony may soon make another court appearance thanks to its “Next-generation Console Comparison Fact Sheet“. The controversial sheet concluded that the Xbox 360 is actually more expensive than the PS3 if you factor in the required add-ons.

Eventually, Sony’s David Karraker clarified that “required” add-ons are not actually required. Huh? “If you want to attempt to come close to the performance of the US$ 499 PlayStation 3 by using your Xbox 360, Core or Premium, you could only do that through expensive add-ons — that is what our chart is demonstrating.” Oh!

Needless to say, Microsoft didn’t find Sony’s doublespeak amusing. The bottomline: Microsoft is preparing legal action against Sony. It’s a good time to be a lawyer on both sides of the next-gen console war.
