The thing I wonder is if they are truly getting a slice of the Live money then given the fact that Microsoft has the 2nd and 3rd biggest competitors to Call of Duty exclusive to their system, why haven't they started charging PS3 users the same?

Well, there is a mechanism in place (xbl gold) where virtually all cod players purchase ongoing membership to play multiplayer content in cod games. Activision realized cod games drove of a lot of online play traffic, which Microsoft profits from directly, so microsoft gave them a cut of live after Kotick was talking about adding their own subscription model to cod games. Since the same mechanism is not present on the ps3, how could they charge ps3 users the same? I don't know how Sony, or fans, would take Activision trying to charge money for online play in PS3 COD titles. 

Ahh! I don't play online so I dunno. Maybe something like more free content etc for the Xbox 360 version? Anyway I just figured they would try to get something out of Sony / PS3 COD players given they are already getting something from Microsoft and on the Sony platform they are pretty much as it stands the only major shooter franchise whereas the Xbox 360 has 3 major ones inclusive of COD.
