| Kyros said: it'll cap far faster than Wii's market - If I had to guess, I'd say the HD market will stop expanding roughly at the 50 million mark, if it even gets that far. I think freelance "analysts" are funny. The HD market will only get going in earnest when both 360 and PS3 are available (in good versions) for ~250$. You can be sure it will not "cap" and definitely not before the Wii. And I'd also like to know what you define as a "mature" game. GTA games are more "teen" than anything else, IMO. I think GTA4 had some nice writing, cool characters and enough satire for a "mature" stamp. Did you play it? |
That's why I said "if I had to" - I don't have to, so I won't. :p
It's not really the HD tech that restricts them, but the content, in the sense that there aren't enough "HC" gamers to buy the systems. Has any system that's focused on "HC" crowd alone ever passed 50 million consoles since the SNES? PS3 might have that chance since it doubles as a Blu-Ray player, but nobody will buy a 360 just to download videos, and I'd wager Viva Pinata, Guitar Hero and Rock Band won't carry it very far by themselves.

That would be the first GTA to do that. I've played every main GTA released except 4 - in all of those they had bare-bones writing, and either no plot, or it consisted of "unlikable bastard x destroys other unlikable bastards". And unless it gets a (cheap) PC port, It'll probably be a long time before I try it anyway, since San Andreas pretty much killed my interest in the series.
