What Sony makes in 3 months would take activision 3 years. If sony allowed gaming companies like Activision priviledges then it would be a huge gamble for sony. Why because there is no guarantee the patch could cause damage to the ps3 e.g bricks etc.. So in essence Sony has to check and verify the patches hence time delays with patch releases.
Sorry but you are a moron and clearly do not understand how business works. Sony are bigger yes, but if Sony didn't give big game publisher's what they wanted, they would just go 'fine, we'll make our titles Xbox360 exclusive' because without the best games, the PS3 is nothing and everyone switches to Xbox. Thus meaning Sony makes NO money.
It will be the same with the likes of EA. If EA turned and said 'no FIFA13 or other big titles on your PS3 and we'll make it Xbox exclusive'. Gamers are hardcore, most don't care what platform they play on. If the next COD and FIFA were Xbox exclusive, you know for a FACT most gamers would immediately switch to an Xbox.
Sony makes money from the PS3 via subsidies. Every game and every map pack/dlc that is purchased, Sony will take a slice of the takings.
In other words, no games on PS3 = no money for Sony, but still plenty of money for the publisher, e.g. Activision, because the gamers will follow the games.
