Sony Computer Entertainment America offered a statement to 1UP, where the report initially surfaced, which said, "We can confirm that Sony Online Entertainment is in talks with Viacom and Xfire for a single, specific PS3 game. However, there are no announcements at this time regarding any discussions between SCEA, Viacom and Xfire."
Chris Kramer, senior director of corporate communications at Untold Legends Dark Kingdom developer SOE said, "SOE has been in talks with Xfire about potentially including some of their technology in Untold Legends Dark Kingdom, our PlayStation 3 launch title. This proposed deal is completely separate and independent from the PlayStation Network Platform, and is something that SOE was examining specifically for Dark Kingdom. More information on Xfire and Dark Kingdom will be coming soon."
Mike Cassidy, CEO of Xfire told Next-Gen, "There are some inaccuracies in the recent press articles regarding Xfire and the PS3. We'll have more accurate information for you in the near future."
Cassidy also told 1UP, "We're in talks with [SOE] about implementing the technology, but cannot discuss how we'd be implementing the technology. Xfire is not part of the PlayStation Network Platform. We are in discussions with Sony Online Entertainment, but I cannot comment any further." | |  | |  | | |
