After some recent reveals about the policies Microsoft have put in place to ensure publishers don't stuff their PS3 releases with additional content not found on the Xbox 360 disc, Sony's Rob Dyer had a few choice things to tell Industry Gamers in a recent interview.

"I think what [Xbox Europe boss] Chris Lewis and the other representatives at Microsoft are doing is protecting an inferior technology. I think they want to dumb it down and keep it as pedestrian as possible so that if you want to do anything for Blu-ray or you have extra content above 9 gigs or you want to do anything of that nature, you'd better sure as heck remember that Microsoft can't handle that," Dyer told Industry Gamer.

While Sony are keen to play the good guys in this war of words, there are quite a few restrictions on that side of the fench as well. Oh well, it makes for good bullets in the fanboy wars at any rate.
