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.

what conclusion is he jumping to?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
