Wow that's some spin. Are you a politician? Jim Ryan failed at blocking the deal something he said in his own words. Ultimately he was forced to sign the 10 year deal once it became obvious MS were going to win. If he didnt sign, he risked PlayStation getting a worse deal than other competitors such as Nintendo. He ultimately resigned because of his own failure to block the deal, and the complete state he left PlayStation first party studios in. Only something that has come to light recently. Xbox hardware has declined yes but is this as big a problem when you basically own half the industry and the direction of travel for the industry is digital content fuelled by subscriptions and platform agnosticism? I mean even PlayStation are waking up to this now.
