Um noooooooooo, They make the movies nothing more, They base the movies on the spiderman comics, stories, They dont own a shred of Spiderman, The only thing that sony has is that no other company can make spiderman movies until their contract runs out and they can use anything in that universe.

Because Marvel owns the rights to Spiderman, and all other Marvel products.dru26

Quick answer is $$.

The game rights belong to activision.  It's up to them to release on what platform they think is going to make the most money.  Either way they are paying the same amount of money to own the rights to the game, so if activision thinks they can make more money just releasing it on one platform.....I'm sure they would do it.  This is a case where they would be very stupid not to release multiplatform.  I think we are going to start to get to a point where all titles will be multiplatform (just look at grandtheft auto later in the year) UNLESS SOE, MS, or NIN pay a butt load of money for exclusive rights (it would have to be a LOT to make up for the fact you are losing millions having it on one system). 

This btw would be different if PS3 held a commanding lead in market share.  Right now it makes no sense IMO to give exclusive rights to anyone based on the fact no one is a clear leader in the market.  Wait another year and if you have PS3 or X360 take a commanding lead in hardware marketshare, you might start to see some big exculsives for the winner.

Activision announced today that the company has signed an agreement with Spider-Man Merchandising L.P., a limited partnership between Marvel Entertainment and Sony Pictures Consumer Products, to extend its exclusive worldwide publishing rights to the phenomenally successful Spider-Man motion pictures through 2017. The license grants Activision the right to publish entertainment software products based on subsequent Spider-Man movie sequels or new television series.

Here is the FINAL answer. Everybody with your opinions need to keep them to yourselves if you don't know what you are talking about. http://gba.pcvsconsole.com/view.php?news=3129

as you can see, Activision got the license deal from both Marvel and Sony, through Spider-Man Merchandising, to do the movie-based games. Thank you. Have a good night.

Well my post is still vaild.  Activision can make the decision to give exclusive rights if they want to.  Bottom line is it in their company's best intrest (meaning, how do they make more $$......one exclusive system or multisystem).  How Activision aquired the rights really makes no difference when answering the question of the original poster.

Sony Pictures backs the movie, they dont own the rights to Spiderman. Marvel does. Marvel sold the MOVIE rights to Sony, but publishing rights are different, as they are Activision and Marvel gives Activision rights to the movie information.Dilrod

Sony movie division has nothing to do with the division. Marvel gave Sony the rights to make the movie. Marvel gave Activison the rights to make its games and Activision mostly releases games for all current systems and handhelds. And just putting it on the no rumble ps3 would be a dumb idea because every system has some way to utilize Spiderman so that the game is fun all around.

P.S.

And the company gets more money bringing it across all consoles and handhelds.
