Wow... so DLC dint do much for MS... that actually is very surprising.... i would love to see the numbers if the DLC was not exclucive to MS

Not sure where you got that from: the whole text seems to imply that Take 2 expects it be pretty profitable, on TOP of the royalites MS will recieve...here's a couple of quotes to back that up (no more cherry-picked than the op, so figured it was ok):

"With The Lost and Damned we set new benchmarks for innovation and made significant contributions to the evolution of this high margin platform. The digital distribution of such a substantial piece of content is a new opportunity for us, and we're pleased with the profitability of this product and believe that downloadable content will continue to be an important part of our business going forward."

"Well, as we've mentioned before, JT, we can't go into too many specifics due to the confidentiality of the agreement, but we can tell you generally that we'll be recognizing some deferred revenue and it will be paired with some capitalized software amortization and some associated marketing expenses. And the title will also be subject to the new Rockstar royalty plan and any revenue we recognize from Microsoft will be net of any of their royalties."

 

i meant in terms of the sales numbers of the original GTA IV  PS3 v 360
