Microsoft is buying their way into the market. I have no doubts or reservations about this fact. Buying exclusive content, paying to get a game on their system and advertising are just a few of the legitimate ways they are doing so.

The real question is how much of their money is going to sabotage efforts of the other consoles?

Microsoft has long been known for shady business practices and I wouldn't put it past them to have manufactured some of these glitches in PS3 and Wii versions of game that are multiplat. (The real question to me is how much did they pay Activision to fuck up GH3 and Rockband?)

I think that this type of thing is abhorent (not to mention illeagal) and I become more certain that this is happenening each time a new glitch or missing feature appears that doesn't affect the 360 version.

Wow, you might want to check your tinfoil hat to make sure it's not malfunctioning.


Damn it! I knew I forgot something....

Seriously though. It's just an theory. I have no proof nor do I shout it from the rooftops or refuse to buy MS games because of it. There is no solid proof, however, should they be doing something like this it will come out in the open eventually.

@MrPickles------- I thought about the ease of development and extra time devs have had to program for it and accept that as a likely cause for most of the glitches especially the ones that were easily fixed ie. (Assasin's Creed, The Orange Box, Madden, other framerrate issues) But that just doesn't hold up for the GH3 and Rockband mistakes. The pro-logic error can be explained by the Wii lateness theory, however, my biggest piece of evidence is the obvious exclusion of Quickplay co-op in PS2, PS3, and Wii versions of GH3. The release of a patch to fix it on 360 just days after retail launch, and lack of patch for the PS3 (the Wii and PS2 don't have hard drivees) just seems extremely fishy. Keep in mind that quickplay co-op was fully functioning in GH2 right out of the box.

Couple that with the PS3 version of Rockband not being compatible with GH3 guitars and Activision's refusale to let Harmonix release the patch for it and it begins to smell like Cape Cod.
