Infinity Ward playing favorites ?

I was checking my messages on my PS3 and noticed a message stating that on September 5th, PS3 CoD players would be changing their clan tag to "Mw2" in protest of the Xbox360 getting exclusive MW2 multiplayer maps. I was surprised by this because a.) it was this morning that I received the message which is well past September 5th, and b.) I had not heard anything about the Xbox360 getting exclusive maps for MW2. Upon investigation I found out that what is actually happening is that the Xbox360 will get the first 2 downloadable multiplayer maps first, not exclusively.
I must say that I have noticed some anger from PS3 owners about the MW2 edition Xbox360. I guess some people feel like Infinity Ward is showing favoritism by partnering with Microsoft like this. The thing is, the Xbox360 version was easily the best selling version of the game and this would not be the first time that a developer has showed favoritism to particular version of their game. I remember John Davison from whattheyplay.com saying that the guys from Criterion told him he should be playing Burnout Paradise on PS3 and not Xbox360.
So what do y'all think, should developers that make multi-platform games avoid playing the favorites game?
