And PS3 owners would have to pay 2 times. Once to their ISP and once for MW2. And they'd still get a worse experience than 360 owners who are paying for LIVE.
Jesus Christ! Why the hell would Microsoft ban 1 million PIRATES just to get more sales? The PS3 has only been outselling the 360 for 2 months, and barely. The 360 had outsold the PS3 for 13 months straight before the Slim launched. And the 360 still has by far the best software sales of any console, which rake in most of the cash.
It's only been 2 months since the PS3's $100 price drop and it's barely outselling the 360. The 360 outsold the PS3 for 13 months straight after its $100 price drop in 2008.
Nintendo dominated hardware sales with the unbeatable Wii and DS. Microsoft dominated software sales with 5 games in the Top 10, versus 3 for Nintendo and 2 for Sony.
Your argument falls flat on its face because the 360's software sales are way, way, way higher than the PS3's every month. If they have nothing to buy all year, then why does the 360 always have the most tiles in the Top 10 selling games each month? Exclusives sell better on the 360, multiplatforms sell better on the 360, everything sells better on the 360.
And next year, 360 owners will be able to buy the following: Mass Effect 2, The Secret World, APB, BioShock 2, Crackdown 2, ...
LOL, the 360 version of MW2 is in 1st place for biggest Week 1 sales, and the PS3 version is in 6th place! LOL! Here's from the article for the Top 5 Week 1 sales of all time:
1. Modern Warfare 2 (X360) - 5,500,000 2. San Andreas (PS2) - 3,986,105 3. Halo 3 (X360) - 3,815,444 4. GTA IV (X360) - 3,377,873 5. Halo 2 (Xbox) - 3,302,008
How interesting, 3 out of the 5 best selling titles of all time are on the Xbox 360! That sure is quite an accom...
How exactly could the PS3 possibly catch up to the 360 in sales? It is now about 7 million units behind, and a complete relaunching of the system, with a $100 price drop, new ad campaign, and a bunch of killer exclusives only cut into the 360's lead by 1 million units.
So now the PS3 will only need 7 more $100 price drops and complete relaunchings to catch up to the 360. And the 360 is still totally dominating in software sales.
The 360 was on a roll for 13 months straight from Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 because of the Arcade unit. The PS3 has been on a roll for 1 month because it had a complete relaunching and $100 price drop. It's already back down to selling the same as the 360 in the US. If Sony didn't freak when they were in last place for over a year straight, then why would Microsoft freak when they're in last place for 1 month. They're still waaaay ahead in software sales, which are just as important as hardware ...
ODST was leaked a month early and it still sold 2 million copies in 24 hours!

The comments here make you lose all hope in humanity. Where have all the intelligent people gone?

Too bad Sony can't get exclusive content for games that DON'T SUCK. Just Cause has a 73 on MetaCritic. LOL.
I didn't know people this dumb existed. You're like the perfect stereotype of an ignorant fanboy. It's almost laughable.
Maybe they don't want to own the same system as delusional people like you, Saaking.
Except in the most important area, sales, where they all fail massively.

If there are 300,000 people on MW2 online on the PS3, then there must be at least 2.5 million online on the 360 version.
