I see where you're coming from, but it's not the same thing. You're talking about 30 day exclusivity on maps as opposed to year-long content being locked on one system, and not just map packs, but an entire game mode being locked on one system for a whole year, in which case, it might as well be full-on exclusive since the next CoD will already be out by the time it hits XB1 and PC.
But in any case, you can't blame Sony for this. It's Activision being greedy, everyone knows they don't need help making any of this timed-exclusive content, they're a fucking multi-$bil company. They could literally afford to make these games F2P with no microtransactions for years and still stay in business, but they do it, anyway because they try to get every last dime they can out of these games via milkage. If Sony doesn't accept these shady deals they offer them, then they'll go to MS and you know they'll accept it to try and get a leg up on the competition.

You can absolutely blame Sony for this deal as much as Activision. It's hard to say who is the one initiating the deals, but Activision isn't forcing Sony to do anything. Both are mutually agreeing to them. Activision and Sony had similar deals with Destiny, so they both know exactly what they are doing.

No, it's Activision. If Sony doesn't accept these deals, then they'll go to MS and there's no way they'll turn them down.
And Activision are the ones brokering the deals. I mean, come on, it's pretty obvious it's Activision who are initiating the timed exclusivity deals. This allows them to milk even more money from the franchise, which is pretty much their M.O.
