Sony's PlayStation Network: no-win situation for publishers?

23.03.2009

And what value is it to a publisher to put up a beautiful 1080p demo of its amazing game if it can only afford to make it 10 seconds long? Or, worse yet, charge users for the demo?

We'll see how this plans out in the year ahead. Publishers will probably still balance their online content between both consoles, but we won't be surprised to see less content on the PlayStation Network. Who knows -- but Microsoft won't be dropping their user fees and doing the same thing.
