LOL...xbox gamers got the play Episodes from Liberty City a year earlier for Lost and 6 months for Gay Tony...the DLC and Retail sold over 3 million copies...M$ "LOANED" 2K the cash for this exclusivity...and M$ has been repaid and then some...I'm not getting how this was a waste? It probably cost Rockstar 2-3 million to develop the DLC, so they made out like bandits, so it's a win-win for everybody concerned...even PS3 only gamers who are getting it 12 months later. This is athe same as Fallout DLC...I guess that was a failure as well...lol...not in my book...and I have the achievements to show it!

Link please to where Microsoft or Take Two says it was a loan. I can link you to where the higher ups at Take Two say that it cost $25M per episode. You lose on both counts

Yup, I have not link on the specifics of the deal...so you can ontinue to believe that M$ paid $50 million to secure  exclusivity for 6 months.  At any rate...M$ EDD reported another $300 million plus quarter and hte fifth in hte row...so evidently, they are doing A-OK in the business department, and making the right calls.
