Only proving that Sony is the best in the business, allowing developers a chance to create something very unique and different, and not having to have a publisher to back the title up. It also allows for a better relationship between the two for developement help and future projects. The PS3s exclusives list will continue to grow largely and make the PS3 the must have Next Gen Console.
wow, means if this is true, naughty dog and all the other owned studios wont be best pleased. could of cut out paying sony to publish there games and claimed all the profit for them selves.
this also means more games coming to the ps3.
due to this new loop hole, i fear most of the new software released without a publisher will be just shovelware games.
i see bungie who are not owned making games for the ps3, without finding a publisher why not 100% profit for the selves.
lets hope if sony goes ahead with this, this don't make all future exclusives just mindless rubbish.
Lets see some developers i.e bungie, level 5 get behind this idea, and turn out some real AAA gems for the ps3.

Much more information then a few messly ripped lines of text. This also relates much more to the PS2, PSP and PSN then something like a BR PS3 title.
i think this is what they did with media molecule....this means more exclusives for ps3/psp and gives the developers a chance to make a little more money and provide free content for their games hassle free.
