Lets not turn this into another NFL/EA thing. It doesn't have everything to do with this article.

I'm a tennis fan. Only casual but I enjoy watching it when I make the time. I'm interested in purchasing Top Spin 3. I'm getting it for the PS3. When I found out that Nadal was only available on that version it was a no-brainer for me. Luckily, for me, the 360 doesn't have exclusive rights to Federer. That would be the worst situation for a gamer.

It's still pretty bad, however, when you are forced into purchasing either a console or a version of a game because it's the only one with additional content.

I doubt this will end anytime soon, though. It'll just get worse until gamers are forced between choosing one or the other. Imagine the next role-playing game that excludes a certain city from the 360 but offers exclusive rights to special magika? That's terrible.
