Sony shows discontent: Micrsoft trying to copy Folding@home
The 360 and the PS3 are in the middle of a war of bullet points: who has the best high-definition connections, who can do more multimedia stuff, who can cure more diseases… okay I made that last one up. Or maybe not. After Sony launched their mega-successful Folding@Home program on the PS3, Microsoft has been hinting that they may offer the same thing. When Jack Tretton of SCEA sat down with GamePro, he made his displeasure at this fact known:
Would they be even having this conversation if we weren’t doing it? I don’t know. I would guess that the medical community would take help from anywhere they could get it, but the commentary that I heard is that Stanford isn’t sure that [the Xbox 360's processing abilities] would help them very much, which is odd to me because if it helped at all, it seems like they would welcome it with open arms.
It’s really ugly territory to get into, but let’s take fighting a disease and see if we can get some credit for that. It’s not a cool game to play one way or the other, so I don’t want to even give the impression that that’s our motivation, and I’d be very disappointed if they’re looking for PR value or to try to suck off some of the goodwill that we’re doing.
