Buy activision and keep COD a multiplat.... thats what id do.

perhaps a slight bending of release dates and exclusive free content for MS consoles but that is all.

why turn down billions in cheap revenue from a competitor userbase?

But if they time the Xbox exclusivity to coincide with the release of the Xbox 720 then there will be hardly any competitor userbase and basically all casual gamers interested in getting annual CoD releases (there are millions of them) will swap to the Xbox.

Well according to a lot of members on this forum, people do not switch gaming devices for just ONE game (MH4 being the basis of my conculsion). So they would need to aquire a lot of the PS3 exclusives as well that attract people to the PS3 in the first placel.

PS: perhaps those people really meant they would never buy a Nintendo product to play a game.
