Post: Xbox Getting More Favouritism in MW3
07-21-2012, 01:41 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Now I love mw3 as a game I think its Multilayer is generally solid and I loved the campaign and Spec Ops is a fun section of the game I play occasionally. But One thing that has got me angry is the fact that Xbox gets the DLC One month earlier before PS3,PC and Wii, I have Elite Founder membership and when I brought the membership I was thinking at the time that both PS3 and Xbox Founder members would get the DLC at the same time as I remember reading online that this would be the case so when I heard that Activision and Microsoft had signed thi "Contract" I felt as a PS3 gamer almost left out by game as a console with the same ability's gets the content that I had prepaid for gets it one month earlier. Now I understand that Microsoft Paid good money for the contract but I feel that A worldwide franchise that is Call Of Duty should be equal to all Consoles and what this contract also means is that non-premium members have to wait TWO months after the DLC has come out to get their hands on it.

True but its a shame to see a company fall into money and not the community

Well I think you have some good points. I think you're missing a big chunk of reasoning here. All these companies are FOR PROFIT. That means that they're in business to make money. While I think they have to offer value to their customers, you still need to remember at the end of the day these companies are responsible to make some money. Smile Most of them are public companies which means they have to answer to their shareholders and worry about stock prices declining.

As for the xbox special treatment. I think this happens for two reasons. The first is the largest demographic of console games are xbox players. I don't have the specific stats on this, but that's not needed. The fact that content is release first (due an agreement between two companies) and the support goes to xbox leads me this conclusion.

Let me pose this question to you... If you're selling a product, do you want to reach the largest base of customers or do you want to go into a small bsae, mom and pop type of store? You're obviously going to want to sell as much as you can. Smile Now my complaint with both companies is they need to pay a little closer attention to the community... make your money, but listen to the people buying your shit.

Long rant, I know. Thanks for reading. Smile

Actually more people have bought Xbox version because of it. Many see the advertisements on TV and see it say "Only on Xbox" or it shows the Xbox logo at the end and they think that the game is only coming out for Xbox and that's why they get it.

Cake is a lie
I understand why they do it.

My mindset has always been sure Xbox has a bigger community but they are locked in. Why not try to branch out and make even more money by optimizing the PS3 version?

You could try to appease the customers you have had longest or understand that they aren't going anywhere and add to the them.

Sadly this might be the reasoning to make an inferior product on PS3. Regardless of if we complain or not we will all be there November 13th.

My only issue is the fact of Elite Premium. That is a way to get even more money out of us yet PS3 is STILL second class. On top of that it divides each individual community. I didn't pay for Elite Premium so that I can have a 2 week-month advantage of having maps over the other guy. Microsoft may care about exclusive access and all that jargon. But as a gamer I want everybody to have access to buy the maps the same time.

Tch, I don't see why it has to be one whole month.

Exactly right? But if they must have a delayed release for other platforms, why the f*ck does it have to be a whole month? Why can't it be just one week or something? When BF3 Premium came out, Premium users get the new DLCs 1 week early. Don't see why CoD has to make things so complicated and slow.
