MS on Xbox360-exclusive DLC for Modern Warfare 2

We knew it since some time ago, but Microsoft just reminded us.


Modern Warfare 2 will be getting DLC soon and Xbox360 gamers will be getting it first. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg defended it: "I think about it like a sports team, when you sign a star athlete for your team... when you sign that free agent, I think it makes your team better. At the end of the day, we want to turn as many people as possible into Xbox 360 fans."



So that is what you do when you want to get ahead of your competitors, you throw money at the game publishers and ask them to exclude your competitors from their development list. Nice to see such a sporting attitude in the gaming industry.

Not that I have anything against the Xbox360 or Microsoft, but it's their stupid "We're not better but we give you more" policy. Imagine if Volkswagen could get Ferrari banned from the Formula 1, and then they promoted their cars saying "Our cars are better because they race on F1." Just for the record I don't defend this kind of practice coming from any company or being done in any platform.
