| That Guy said: it could be quite possible that the xbox360 might be at a saturation point. The people who buy games like GTA4 and Halo 3 would probably be the same ones who bought GTA3 and Halo2, and those people might already own Xbox360's. How many people who are *new* to videogames would geek out over GTA4 or Halo3? Probably a number, but it probably doesn't compare to the number of people who have played through the prequels. |
IMO: I'm not too sure of that, because GTAIII and its spinoffs are all based on the same engine. GTAIV will be rebuilt from the ground up, and should offer more of everything - kinda like what GTAIII did for GTAII.
I haven't touched San Andreas because after finishing the original GTAIII I tried Vice City and after about 20 missions it just all felt too similar. San Andreas just felt like too much of a commitment to finish, despite having more of everything to do (honestly, if I wanted to play billiards, I'd buy a billiards sim!). However, with a spanking new engine and more varied gameplay, I could be sucked right back into the Rockstar fold.
I think the same will go for Halo. Some people are just holding out for the next best thing, which unfortunately for all three consoles, haven't really come out - yet.
