GTAV X360 Exclusive confirmed?

Maybe that's their plan for 2012!

I wouldn't be surprised if its true since money makes the world go round

That would never happen.  Exclusive DLC, sure.  Exclusive game, nah.  Take Two are just like Activision, yea they can be bought out for an exclusive bundle or DLC, but they would never give up the money that would come from ~10 mil sales on the PS3.  To put that in math/money terms, let's say that GTA5 sells 10 million on PS3.  10 million x $60 = $600 million.  Take Two probably sees about half of that, so that's still $300 million.  Is MS going to pay ~$200-300 million for the exclusivity of one title.  Hells no. 

I dont see why not if it means selling a helovalot more x360s. but thats just me.

Cause it wouldn't sell a hellavlot more 360's.  It would get a similar boost to a Halo game, but we both know those boosts are temporary.  They would have to sell over 1 million more 250GB 360's due to the game just to break even.  Of course, no game has been responsible for that kinda boost.  Sure, maybe a few 100K, but not over 1 million.  And I doubt MS investors would be too keen on MS spending ~$300 million for one game, not when they already know they have a NeXbox in development.  Then you have Take Two, who would also be looking at the millions in lost revenue from the DLC of a PS3 version, so they would probably make MS pay more than $300 million.  Which coupled with console sales and the small amount they see from game and DLC sales, there still likely be no return on investment. 

No smart business is going to do that this late in the gen.  And MS is a smart business most of the time.
