Kaos: Microsoft got timed-exclusivity on Homefront DLC because Sony's busy with Killzone 3 |

Earlier this month, it was announced that the Xbox 360 snagged timed-exclusivity for the DLC of the upcoming shooter, Homefront. Microsoft up to its old tricks? Apparently not. According to Kaos Studios, Sony just wasn't interested enough because they have Killzone 3 coming up.
"Sony really didn't come to us and say, 'We want to support you and get behind you.'" said Rex Dickson of Kaos Studios. "I think their focus right now is on Killzone. So that's really how it all happened."
True enough, Sony is now gearing up for the Killzone 3 open multiplayer beta, which starts this February 2nd. It's quite possible that they'd much rather put in effort for their prime first-party FPS, than go for someone else's. Microsoft, on the other hand, showed support to the developers and their upcoming title. This, according to Dickson, is why Microsoft was able to secure the deal.
Worry not though, those who pick up Homefront for the PS3 can still look forward to Homefront DLC, but you're gonna have to wait a while.

Although it is nice to get a straight up answer from a developer, and manufacturer in a sense.
I am a bit dissapointed that Sony didn't get in on the Homefront, since it could be a backup for all those 'war fans' out there as in 'we invade USA, lulz, lets see what happens'. Like the MW2 Cold war writers if you get what I mean.
Yes, promote you main product, but don't forget about those trying to get up on the ladder! This is hit and miss from Sony to me, but at least they said, it honestly. We'll promote our big guns.

In other words:
("Microsoft paid us, Sony didn't make a higher bid")
