Well, of course this is really bad for some of the consumers (Xbox and PC players in that case).

This is really bad practice imo, esp. from big publishers like Activision.
At the end Sony, made the deal but I'm very confident, Activision came up with the content they wanted to make exclusive, not Sony.
And this goes the same when Microsoft does it, it simply sucks for gamers (Tomb Raider?).

Now, like Kirby said, for small indies. I believe this is good if this can get the studio actually developing the game in the first place cause of the funding.

Of course it is. By the time it hits XB1 and PC,  the next CoD will already be out, so they might as well not even release it on those other platforms.

Activi$ion obviously doesn't need the timed-exclusivity money being the multi-billion dollar company they are, but they try to milk every last penny they can out of the CoD franchise, so of course they strike a deal at the expense of other players. I'm on PS4, and even I think this is bullshit, I can only imagine how they feel.

Jim Sterling has the right idea:
