Activision Rubbishes Accusations News

Publishers Activision deny MTV Games' accusations that they blocked a Rock Band PS3 patch...
Following MTV Games' accusations of Activision blocking a patch for Rock Band on PS3, Activision has responded by strongly denying the allegations. The publisher has also suggested that it is MTV Games/Harmonix that is stifling further compatibility between Guitar Hero III and Rock Band peripherals.
MTV Games and Harmonix released a statement two days ago in which they stated that Activision had blocked a PS3 patch allowing Guitar Hero III's peripheral to be used in Rock Band. Guitar Hero III's controller is already compatible in this way on Xbox 360.
Activision has now spoken out to rebut these claims and even suggests that quite the opposite is true. Speaking to Kotaku, the publisher said the following:
"The recent announcement by MTV Games/Viacom's Harmonix division that Activision is blocking Sony from releasing a patch and their plea to enable Rock Band software to work with Guitar Hero hardware paints a very misleading picture.
"In fact, Harmonix and its parent company MTV Games/Viacom recently declined Activision's offer to reach an agreement that would allow the use of Guitar Hero guitar controllers with Rock Band. We have been and remain open to discussions with Harmonix and MTV Games/Viacom about the use of our technology in Rock Band. Unfortunately for Rock Band users, in this case Harmonix and MTV Games/Viacom are unwilling to discuss an agreement with Activision.
"Activision's top priority is to provide consumers with a seamless marriage of best-in-class hardware and software. We are focusing our efforts on innovating hardware and software that are designed to work together, work flawlessly and provide an enjoyable gaming experience."
