What's not to understand. Thes devs DID make a patch for the game, According to Anton 505 had some deal with sony and the patch got submitted to them first. The plan was to release ot to ms after it was out on ps3. It came out on ps3 and the last thing we heard from Anton is that it would be submitted to MS. If it was indeed submitted as planned then it was rejected by MS quality control probably for the glitches that sony missed, some controls on custom not working etc

The puplishers have to pay microsoft a fee (of unknown amounts but probably in the thouasands of dollars range) everytime they submit a patch regardless if it passes or not. MS dont deal with developers direct its all thought puplishers so 505 would have to pay for further development on the patch and again to MS submitting the next patch as many times as needed. They obviously dont feel that all that cost is worth extra sales it may generate.

A patch being done is pretty much the second phase of four to get it realsed
1)development of patch
2) patch is 'done' internal QA
3) submissal to platform holder and their QA
4) either approved and released or rejected back to publisher, start over.
