And if they release it exclusive to PS3,it wud boost system sales and then more people will buy the games in addition to the normal base.That way Rockstar earn more |
lol, first of all games don't cost 70 pounds in Europe. More like (the equivalent of) 75 Dollars.
And second of all, in those 75 Dollars a 20% VAT is included. And you know what 0.8 x $75 is?
$60.
Publishers and developers don't get a penny more from their games sold in Europe.
(actually, if anything, you could argue that they get less from Europe in some cases, if you look at the Eastern European game developers who sell their PC games for like $15-20 in Poland and Russia to try to combat the huge piracy).
