So the first Map pack has been announced for Modern Warfare 2. The pack which is likely to consist of 3 or 4 new maps will be released on the 20th of March…..But because Microsoft have no real business strategy or any real idea of how you actually make money have thrown a shit ton of cash at Activision so the 20th of March date is for Xbox 360 users only. PC and PS3 gamers will get the pack a few weeks later.

I’m not sure how MS intend to make any money from the 360 at this rate. Everyone knows you generally lose money on every console sold, yet they keep paying through the nose for time exclusive content. Now this can only result in 3 things in my eyes, Xbox owners having to pay more for peripherals, Compared to the PS3 the Xbox is pretty bare bones as it is, they’ll have to start charging more for this DLC or Microsoft will have to get out of the console market.
I don’t see that happening though, MS have so much money I don’t think they care if they lose some money, the more likely is they’ll start charging more for things. Xbox owners already get screwed plenty by MS in regards to what they have to buy and what they have to pay so we’ll see what happens.

In any event MS continue there game of one upmanship even though no one is really too bothered. I don’t see people switching systems for any reason. People are very stuck in their ways.

Incidentally I’ve owned both machines and can say in my view the PS3 is better in every way and no amount of exclusive content, timed or not would make me switch.
