So... disagreement on pricing?
You remembered the details better than I did. Since I don't have any iOS devices I wasn't really paying that much attention to the article other than a "oh, look, the titans at war again". I completely missed the part where Apple takes a 30% cut on everything sold through apps on their devices, and I can definitely see why that's a bigger deal to Sony than the other terms and restrictions. I imagine it would be a big deal to anyone.
