GTAV - PS4 next-gen exclusive?

Considering the PS3 install base and price in 2008 the sales on the PS3 are more impressive than 360.
I'm sure we'll see a PS4 version of GTAFive.

I know right.

How is it that the Gamecube, with an install of what like 20million, could still sell Marios that ship 10million, and series like MGS sell about the same regardless of how many systems they are on, or GTA which has consistantly sold better as a pseudo exclusive? 

Because Userbase size has very little to do with fanbase size. A fanbase does not double in size just because the game is available to more people. If 100 ppl are interested in your game, its gonna be 100 no matter how u slice it. 70/30, 50/50, 90/10. It is far more about the loyalty of that fanbase to any given hardware with the expectation that they will recieve it there and THAT is where a console should debut(all the while trying to spend as little as possible). It baffles me that so many JRPG devs let MS tempt them with moneyhatts and keep far too many JRPGs from releasing on PS3 this gen(if only timed) when Playstation has consistantly held the largest JRPG fanbase...

Yet another reason why exclusivity and selection of platforms to release on  is so important.
