Only if they want to go bankrupt.

how?

You know how. This is utterly ridiculous.

i would agree if you said they would lose revenue but how the hell would they be bankrupt?

In this day and age, one flop can make or break a company - Particularly when we're talking about such a massive franchise as GTA. Releasing it on one console, and the one where their previous game sold worse at that would make their stock go to hell, their revenue would be butchered, and if they had as big of a budget as they did for GTA4 they may not even turn a profit on the game. It would be an absolutely horrible choice and it's about as likely as the next Mario being PS3-exclusive.

What?

 

Comparing Mario a Nintendo first party games to a third party game that has been  an exclusive before is complete of topic.WTF?

And talking of this day and age,yes a flop can break a company but not Rockstar.One side you are saying its massive and the other side you are talking as if its a small game franchise which if flops will make the company go down.

And how are you talking of flop,you should be saying it didn't sell well not flop.A GTA game is never going to flop,aleast in this Generation.

Also if a big game developer like Rockstar go down,may will come to support it as it is one of the best ever.

 

And how will their revenue get butchered,360's version of GTA 4 even after selling 1.5 million more than the PS3 version,only had $50m revenue more than PS3's version.If it was exclusive to PS3 then it would have taken alot more revenue as many more people would have bought the PS3 and GTA 4 on it as it is a system seller.

 

One more thing,the engine's cost's have already been recouped,even if they sold 1m copies of the next GTA.They would have a profit

Rockstar don't give a shit, quite frankly, that GTA4 sold 1,5 million more on 360. They give a shit that it sold 7,32 million on the 360. You seem to think that everyone who bought GTA4 would magically pick up a PS3 and buy the next GTA for that if it was exclusive, which isn't how it works.

Would GTA4 have gotten better sales on PS3 if it was exclusive? Sure, but not by that much. The people who bought it on 360 would simply not buy it. A few would get a PS3 to play it, but hardly 7,32 million - 1,5 million tops, I'd say. I know I wouldn't buy a PS3 just to play GTA4 if it had been exclusive.

Stop dancing around the subject - What you are suggesting makes absolutely no sense and you should know this yourself as well. You're suggesting that Rockstar would suddenly say goodbye to 7 million potential sales because of some imaginary deal you have yet to provide any proof for (atleast not that I have seen). This thread is a joke.
