Sony Boss Not Terribly Impressed By Activision PS3 Threats [Gaming]
Gizmodo — ... I mean, he's right, but he also sounds stumped. Could this little tussle blossom into a beautiful corporate executive mudwrestling match? Only time will tell. [Reuters via ...

Sony CEO calls Activision threats “a lot of noise”
SlashGear — ... Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has struck back at Activision chief Bobby Kotick, claiming his calls to cut PS3 prices are “a lot of noise” and that there’s no “logic” in discounting the console.  Speaking to Reuters, Stringer suggested that “I (would) lose money on every PlayStation I make – how’s that for logic.” ...
