Highly doubt that. Activision and Microsoft are extremely close, especially when it comes to COD, Xbox Live and American business outlook on the gaming industry. Theres probably a contractual edge thats being given to the Xbox version so people adopt it earlier with them. You must remeber as well, Activsion now makes money off of Xbox Live gamers. As bobby kotick said, Activision gathers a modest sum of the money that people pay monthly for the service. Microsoft also gets timed exclusivity for a limited amount of time for map packs. It reminds me of Sony and EA's old relationship last gen because of the high sports game sales. You can tell EA still favors Sony but can't do anything about part of last gens PS2 owners jumping ship, which based on sales coupled with Xbox adapters to the 360 makes for better multiplatform sales and sales of exclusives.
