True, it won't happen until mid 2009, but - based on the fact MS ponied up $50M for exclusive content, I don't think it's a stretch for them to buy R* and just freeze Sony out of the loop completely. No one - I mean no one - does open sandbox like R*. And when MS ignored R*'s request to make GTA exclusive on the original Xbox, MS learned not to make a mistake like that twice. And Saint's Row was a good holdover until we get GTA, but still - it wasn't GTA. I feel for the Sony PS3 owners ...
Bottom line, if this happens, and R* can have the freedoms it wants with M$, I'd put my money on MS snapping it up. Sony can not match M$'s sheer desire to whip the competition.
