Bottom line: Microsoft needs true exclusives for the 360 to remain competitive with the PS3. Microsoft did claim that being the first to market like the PS2 (which was a lie because the Dreamcast was first) guarantees "winning" the "console war." They also said that about being the first console to sell 10 million units. Too bad for them both Nintendo and SONY proved and are proving them wrong.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
