Take Two revenue for GTA IV, January 05th:

  1. Xbox 360 --> 497 million USD
  2. PS3 --> 413 million USD
  3. PC --> 40 million USD

I doubt Take-Two wants to pass on half a billion USD revenue just for fun.

 

Even with 1.5m units and even 2m if we take the Jan figure,PS3's revenue was only about $50m short of the 360's revenue cause of the more expensive european sales.

So if it was to sell some more units and being an exlusive would have pushed 1.5-2m units more

then it would have  made about 550-650m in revenue.

 

that means Sony would only have to pat about $200-250m for exclusivity

Okay I try to make it more obvious for you:

revenue for Xbox 360, PS3, PC = 950 million
revenue for PS3 (PC) = 413 million (453 million)

--> 537 million USD less revenue (500 million less revenue)

That is the money TakeTwo would lose without the Xbox 360 version. Let's assume some current Xbox 360 players would get GTA V on PS3 now, there would still be a 400 million difference in revenue. So 400 million dollar less revenue is quite a bit and Sony has to pay TakeTwo a LOT of money for this.

Yeah I agree with that, but there is another factor, your sugesting that all the 360 owners of only own a 360, they might have a ps3 and would therefor just buy it for the ps3 insted so ps3 revenue would be a lot higher making the gap a little smaller
