The Microsoft-Sony corporate bitch fight continues, this time with SCE honcho Kaz Hirai getting snappy. While Sony's been accused of copying everything from the Wii-mote to Xbox Live, Kaz says that just ain't the case in the latest issue of PlayStation Magazine. It's Microsoft who are the big copycats.

PSM: Sony and Microsoft seem to be taking the exact same path.

Hirai: We seem to. Every time we go down a path, we look behind and they're right there - we just can't shake these guys. I wish that they would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do. If you look at their strategy in other business areas as well, they tend to do that.

A master class in finger pointing. According to Kaz, every good idea Microsoft ever had was swiped. And not only that, Microsoft are poor planers say Kaz! He lays into Msoft with this jab:

Hirai: ...And the other thing is, you take a look at, for example, the fact that we incorporate the Blu-ray drive from day one. You're not going to be asking me, 'So, talk to me about this Blu-ray add-on that you have. Does it work for games? Is it just for movies?' That's exactly the kind of pitfall you fall into if you launch something that's too early, too premature...

How sassy! I love it! Brian Ashcraft
