Not too long ago I believe that Sony was planning to still let 3rd party developers manage their own online components of games. Joystiq is reporting that Sony is preparing a service to meet or exceed Xbox Live. Given the amount of time that Microsoft spent preparing the Live service and Sony’s reputation for overhyping everything I won’t hold my breath.
The post on Slashdot said things could look bad for Microsoft. *yawn* Whatever. When Sony starts delivering on their hype then I will be worried for Microsoft. Until then…
