I didn't say it's not a big story that 360 is getting exclusive DLC and PS3 isn't and it will sell great to people who already bought the game on the 360. It's not gonna get people who have no interest in 360 or the game to buy the game for DLC that they will have to pay for down the road.

It's goo business but it's a minor thing as a system seller to have DLC, a new exclusive Rockstar franchise if it does well is a much better system seller.

I was buying the PS3 version of the game until the DLC thing happened now I'm getting both versions, but the majority of people don't have both consoles and won't be thinking about DLC as a major factor that will move them to buy a game if they have no interest in it or the console it's on.

That's a fair argument honestly, But its GTA, People will want all that they can get out of it. Just like Guitar Hero II, people want more and the version with more, wins the fans. I think GTA is a bore to be honest, but its a ridiculously popular game and there's no denying that the 360 version (aside from having the larger instalation base) will most likely sell far more because of the DLC.

Also, remember, GTAIII was able to take off on the PS2 because the PS2 was a dynamic console with an exploding instalation base. The PS3 doesn't have this. And without previously proven games in a franchise to give the fans a taste, a new IP for any console can be easily ignored by those who don't wish to be troubled to own it. Previously established Franchises will always be the deciding factors for the majority of gamers throughout the generation.
