^ you're not giving the DLC credit for what it was intended to do, deter customers from buying the ps3 version.

And they did that, the series came to a brand new console and it outsold the console that previous had the fanbase of 10mill+ GTA fans. That's getting the job done. Xbox franchice has lost billons of dollars and people are laughing at MS dishing out $50mill to screw over Playstation? Best 50mill MS has EVER spent.

You think that was the reason? And not the 7 million lead in install base?

Because it was mainly a PS2 franchise plays little effect - I wouldn't be surprised if more previous PS2 owners own a 360 than PS3.


I'm about 110% sure it wasn't the 7 million because GTA IV was announce for x360 at e3 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Development).

1. PS3 wasn't released.
2. X360 was at 3.5 mill
3. Everyone assumed PS3 would come out and mow down wii and xbox. Take-two included.

Are you joking about it being ps2 franchise has little effect? How do you make that argument even? Were PS2 fans saying "im going to get the next xbox instead of the ps3" before the ps3 was even released?
