Well, there a mechanism in place where virtually all x360 cod players purchase ongoing subscription to play multiplayer content in cod games. Activision realized cod games drove of a lot of online play traffic on the 360, which Microsoft profits from directly. So Microsoft agreed to give them a cut of live subs after Activision was talking about adding their own sub model to cod games. Since the same sort subscription model is not present on the ps3, how could they charge ps3 users the same? I also don't know how Sony, or fans, would take Activision trying to charge money for online play in ps3 cod titles when one of the selling points of the console is free online play.
