So I paid for Elite, but I still have to wait?

A major outcry by PS3 Modern Warfare 3 players as Activision announced that the first maps for Call of Duty Elite members would launch on January 24th to XBox 360. They did not mention any release information for PlayStation 3 as of this post.

 

The common outcry is why did we pay full price for Elite but we are not getting the map paks at the same time as XBox…

 

This may be a rude awakening for Activision… We will update this as we hear more.

I still can't get the damn thing to work properly for me. It worked fine in the beginning, then unsynced my PSN ID.

tweets by Robert Bowling as we speak: https://twitter.com/fourzerotwo

"The content comes out first for @Xbox Elite Premium members, then shortly after for subscribers on other platforms."

"Activision has a partnership with Microsoft since 2007. These types of partnerships are not something I handle on the dev side"

"All high-level business partnerships are handled on the corporate side. You'd have to reach out to Activision (no official twitter)."

"You can reach customer support via Twitter by sending a message to @ATVIAssist - they can direct you to phone support also."

 

It is confirmed that we got shafted again... there are even crys for boycotting COD, Activision and Elite

I wouldn't mind seeing how the sales figures went out for MW3. I truly wonder what the split between platforms really is. Does Microsoft really get a boost by getting in bed with Activision?

From VGChartz.com not very reliable but closest thing we have:

 

XBox: 10,732,062

PS3: 8,040,959

PC: 854,144

Wii: 337,780

DS: 107,980

So a 25% difference in Titles sold between those 2 consoles. And the disparity after that is astounding. Yet Activision can afford to alienate its clients on the PS3 side, charge money for a service that guarantees early "hands on" and still favors one unit over the next.

 

I guess my next question is how much Microsoft gave to Activision for this favoritism? Why would a software company divide itself in the market and disenfranchise part of its audience? That is what confuses me. I don't have the game, I have been thinking about picking it up. But I am not going to get Elite if it means that I am really not getting anything special.

Closer than I thought it would be. Really was thinking closer to 2:1.

 

Either way it is a crock of shit.

I guess ill stick with battlefield. That game favors ps3 over xbox.
