Its to late. I'm gonna give my money to the 100 other things thats coming out this year and this is from a big GTA fan.

lol I never will understand this ridiculous stand people have.

"ooh it's too late"

 

If GTA is a favourite of yours, and some great content is coming out for it, but you're putting it aside clearly because they neglected to give it to the PS3 straight away, you're cutting your nose of to spite your face.

 

Your loss.

Excitement for anything dies down over time...its just human nature. Everyone is excited on their wedding day but a year or more down the line? Not so much...The same applies to games and gaming related content. People just cant be hyped forever.

Really bad analogy, of course someone is going to be more excited on their wedding day rather than a day looking back on it 2 years later.

Hype doesn't matter, the actual content does, and that's exactly the same content as the day and date release on the Xbox. The experience isn't any less.

The "excitement" in my analogy is in reference to the actual marriage not just the wedding day itself. The wedding day signifies the start or the marriage aka the launch date of the game.

Regardless of the content, I would argue that late/old things just get overlooked no matter how good. There are many times I was wanted certain games when they released but just didn't have the money. Later down the line when I did have the money, I had simply forgotten and never got around to buying them again. You maybe speaking of an "ideal" situation here but in reality, while the experience may be no less, it would still be overshadowed by new games on the pipeline.

How else would you explain the sales of Bioshock ps3? Do you believe that it'll have sold the same if it launched on the same day as the 360 version or at least much earlier than it did?

There is no need to explain to me there is truth in what you're saying, I believe you. I just believe gamers are choosing to miss out due to ridiculous reasons. If LBP was announced for the 360 this christmas, I'd be anticipating it and putting on my list near the top.

Again i stress, he stated he was a GTA fan ... so why wouldn't you get this if you're a GTA fan?
