i kinda want to understand this......... why on earth do most multi console games go to XBOX first.......... In the past 3 years Microsoft has lost approx. 242.7 million dollers just from the games...... the Kinect is the only thing keeping the 360 console so popular right now..... i just don't get it

My guess is that statistically, more people play Xbox 360 than PS3 (NOT SAYING THAT XBOX IS BETTER). Another possibility is that Microsoft just paid them extra.
but in the end, your guess is as good as mine.

People...It's simple.

Microsoft paid Activision for the xbox to get the COD map packs 1 month before the other systems. It's been that way since MW2...

First part is right the second is your opinion and doesn't matter or contribute to the discussion.

Microsoft paid addition money and made an agreement with the developers for their exclusivity or them getting content first. Of course and over-hyped game like Cod is unreasonable to keep exclusive on one console it will be delayed on the ps3.

Not that map packs themselves are a good thing. Since slap on DLC is becoming a habit of developers to charge more and more money on content that they could of easily withheld from the gold copy and then selling it later at elevated prices.

Well, I'm saying, from a guy that has played on both platforms extensively, that Xbox is slightly better. Not trying to start a flame war, or get a troll to go 'you suck', 'your gay!' or, the more common: "Fake and gay!!". But, continuing from my primary argument, there are multiple reasons, some including:
More people!
Controller....? (my opinion)
Marketplace. better. no argument.
and, the most important: CUZ IM ON IT!!!!!

But, anyways, not trying to be mean or anything, but Xbox is better. But, instead of PS3 players, fighting a Little Big Horn (un-winnable fight), why dont we all unite against Wii....?

that is also a false statement because most ps3 users have 1 to 5 accounts so in reality the population of PS3's server for Black ops is far greater than Microsoft's
