I can see where you're going with the first one, but why? Kojima wanted to make a game for the PS3 because he wanted it to be specialised. The quality of an exclusive on the PS3 is far higher than that of a multiplat, on average. If he made it on 360, he would have to spend another year developing it, and nobody would buy it! I have no idea where you're coming from with Heavy Rain, though. Sony owns the rights to that game, Sony is funding the development, how could it end up on 360? It's like Gears of War. OT: I think it's pathetic, really. Exclusive DLC is lame, what's even lamer is when people say it's a full game. Do you hear us calling BioShock Challenge Rooms a game?

Did you miss where Microsoft gave Rockstar a $50 million dollar loan to help make 2 episodes of GTV4 for the 360? This may not be outright giving away of money like Sony has done for Heavy Rain but it's still giving money to Rockstar in advance. And in business $50 million dollars today is worth more than $50 million dollars next year so Microsoft did indeed give away at least some money for it.
