Developer Activision has worked with the Microsoft in creating a hardware bundle for XBox 360 with its game. They also announced it at the E3 last year that the DLC would his the Xbox 360 first.
Now, at last, the window of exclusivety has been numbered.
Microsoft representative while speaking to the media recently made it clear that the DLC would have a month headstart on the Xbox 360.
He said, “We have a 30-day timed exclusive on the Modern Warfare content packs. So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first.”
Still the DLC has not been dated for any platform till now, even though the earlier CoD titles are representative of the pattern. They will be hitting by the next few months.

Modern Warfare 2 has made a record by becoming one of only a handful of entertainment franchises that has taken a revenue of over $1bn says the publishers.
The game was released on November 10 and had made an estimated sale of $550m in just first 5 days.
The sales of MW2 has put the game alongside other games of $1bn titles like the Guitar Hero III and the World of Warcraft. Both owned by the same publisher Activision.
This sales has also puts the game alongside other entertainment franchises like the 3D science fiction smash Avatar.
On the 4th January reveal, the Avatar is the fourth-biggest film that has been ever made.
Well, direct comparisons between video games and films are difficult because the retail of games are between 3 and 5 times than the cost of a cinema ticket.
Michael Rawlinson, Director General of Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) said, “The phenomenal success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was undoubtedly one of the leading entertainment stories of the year and firmly established videogames as one of the leading forms of entertainment in the UK.”

Microsoft again wins the race. This time also in having exclusives as it is pretty strong weapon for it. This time in the war against competing platform holders.
We are well aware that Microsoft is not a stranger to the world when it comes to securing exclusive DLC rights for the Xbox 360. It has been well proved by the 2 extra Grand Theft Auto IV episodes.
Heading again in the race of exclusives, Microsoft now, though not to the same extent, has done it with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Let me quote words from CES, by way of Destructoid: “Any DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be hitting the Xbox 360 before any other platform.”
The competitive fact of it may not be enough in swaying a gamer in trading teams all of a sudden. Practically speaking, especially after the logging countless number of hours into collecting perks. It is hence one more victory that Microsoft can notch on its bedpost.

Even the competitor now says that Modern Warfare 2 will be a great success. Ashley Cheng, the production director of Bethesda Game Studios (a pretty big video game developer and publisher) admitted on his blog that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would blow away its competition.
He said this while expressing his view on the holiday season of this year when lots of high-quality titles will be coming to the market around the world.
He said, “Not much coming out, in regards to AAA hardcore gamer’s games to stand up to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, other than Halo: ODST. Assassin’s Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Brutal Legend and Dragon Age are the other AAA that look like they will ship this year. The new Forza looks good, too.”
He also mentioned that Modern Warfare 2 will become the best selling on Xbox 360 or PS3. He also said that many big guns are late to release that is why MW2 is practically guaranteed to be very successful.
Readers and also those who regularly comments, put down your views on what Ashley Cheng said.
