Well, it sold more on 360, so a PS3 timed exclusive would've been a rather dumb idea.


i'd haft to disagree! GTA was synonymous with the PS brand. so in saying that GTA 4 would have sold more on PS3 and sold some consoles as well. thinking that gamers would not have none if it were coming out on 360 some if not most would have bought a PS3 and we would be having a different discussion right now.


I don't get what you're arguing here. If I'm Rockstar, why do I care about selling PS3's? Why wouldn't I have my game on a console with a larger userbase? Why would I take a timed exclusive deal and dig into my own sales?


besides it would not have happend if microsoft wouldn't have paid for it!

There is NO PROOF in this, why are we all suddenly believing Patcher? for one, if I recall correctly it was in Take Two or rockstar or someones companys financials that they had accepted 50 million from Microsoft. 

The other part to this is that they wouldn't have even finished GTA 4 if they didn't have the funding as they were well over budget and Take Two seems to have CEO's that always make money 'run away'.  Again this is if I recall correctly, also I believe it was a LOAN, so Msoft will have gotten its money back. I am not saying Msoft didn't pay for it, but for us to suddenly take this guys word for something, is a little strange, back up a bit..

didn't san andreas sell like 14 or more million units on PS2. why wouldn't they make it exclusive to PS3?

PS2 != PS3

Xbox 360 = Xbox 360.

The ps3 at the time was selling laughably (compared to expectations), BluRay has its advantages, and for an open world like GTA it is quite obvious, but this does not mean it was instantly going to be a PS3 exclusive.
