What do you mean why not? I think it's pretty obvious why not.

Obviously it makes sense from a business perspective but I am not a businessman, and naturally I don't have ties to thse companies. I am simply a consumer who expects that when I buy something, I expect the same product no matter which platform I buy it on. I understand exclusive titles more, but if a game is multiplatform I expect to get the same game. Basically, If you are a big fan of UT but have a PS3 or are getting a PS4 you are getting an inferior product. Now obviously this isn't that big of a deal, but it is the principle of the thing, and the fact remains that that version has something that PS players won't get.

Matty, you HAVE to view it as a business. Xbox is trying to sell more consoles and put PS out of business basically. This move may make Europe buy way more Xbox consoles by the game being free and having exclusives. I'm sure PS has something lined up with other game companies to do a similar promotion.

No way I would be buying XBOX instead of PS. More quickly I won't buy FIFA, than buy XBOX!!!!

You can bully Freddie Ljungberg all you like, but Bergkamp was a genius.

If players actually played like their real-life counterparts this would be cool but since they don't, color me unimpressed.

The Legend of Italy are Meazza, Rivera, Mazzola, Baggio, not Zola, Vieri and Inzaghi.

Its really not obvious. They may be the same game in name, but they are two different platforms that have different requirements. Its kind of like buying generic cereal and being mad it doesn't taste the same as the brand name cereal. Just because you expect it, doesn't mean they should do it. Quite frankly, the industry is becoming more and more "Us against Them" because it is obvious consumers don't care about business, so there's really no reason for the business to care about the consumer. Its kind of like retail employees, they don't really care about you, because you don't care about them.
