Interesting. I wouldn't have thought there was much of an advantage in this game having a short period of exclusivity. Still I suppose if 5 people buy a 360 for this over PS3 because it's out on 360 first it's 5 extra 360 (and Kinect) sales for MS and 5 less PS3 (and Move) sales for Sony.


I reckon the value of timed must be zero here.  I'm surprised that MS would pay for it as hinted in the comment unless they meant something else.

I don't see this selling systems which means owners will go with the platform they already have whatever the launch date.  I suppose it might sway some multi-console owners but in my experience most multi-console owners already have a preference for one reason or another and again a short delay won't change that.

Given the relatively late notification of Move I wonder if the delay is simply that 360/Kinect will be ready 4 to 6 weeks ahead of PS3/Move version.  Although the comment does mention a financial reason.

If MS thinks this is how to hang on to US lead I think they've lost the plot a bit.  I can understand them paying to get 30 days CoD map packs first - not that I condone it, I don't - but this seems pointless if it is a bought timed period.


people are jumping to conclusions...  as usual.

as are you ...
