MS paid for it to come out on 360 first....money talks

same exact thing happened with Fallout 3, COD MW2, and GTA IV

But 99.8% of people playing new vegas on PC are doing so on a Windows platform. So Microsoft is paying for exclusivity against itself.

To OP... Fallout 3's DLC was exclusive to 360 - And we all see how that turned out. Just give it a couple of months.

ok? and? if they're playing it on a windows PC then they already have your money....jokes on you

what the 360 TIMED exclusive does is for those who want the buy the game for either 360 or PS3 (because they're console only gamers) this will persuade them to buy the 360 version over the PS3 version

it's not going against itself whatsoever

either you're buying the superior PC version and MS wins...or you're buying the 360 version over the PS3 version because of TIMED exclusive content and MS wins still.....it's genius

Not quite sure how "MS wins" if you buy the PC version, they recieve no royalty fees for the PC version. The only way MS can "win" if you have the PC version is the fact that you need windows to run the game but then you need windows to run 99.99% of all software. In fact in the case of Fallout New Vegas MS certainly did not "WIN" they lost because Bethesda ditched GFWL in favour of steam and that is no doubt one of the reasons why MS kept the first DLC off the PC. A case of sour grapes if you ask me, still it will inevitably harm Bethesda and Microsoft in the long run.

true...but either way, what MS is doing with paying for timed exclusivity is mainly for the 360 vs PS3 versions of the game

i know a few people personally who the tactic has worked on for COD maps

It is also aimed at the PC, Microsoft are on record as stating they purposely go out of their way to keep games and content off the PC to encourage people to buy the xbox 360 version. If it was just aimed at the PS3 then the content would be available on the PC/360. You have to understand in Microsofts world they actually see the PC (yes the platform they owe their very existence too) as much a competitor as the PS3 and they will do everything they can to ensure the Xbox gets a leg up over the PC.
