Fine... but its a big if.

And anyhow I think we are clearly looking at it in very different light. You are only thinking about how great this will be for your favourite console. Of course it will be great.

But if you were in Bethesda's shoes, who also paid money to buy the Fallout franchise, I want to get the most revenue and maximum exposure for a game that they already said they want to extend to Fallout 4,5. Having it as an exclusive will be the worst way to do it, certainly in the way of the PS3. If they had it 360 exclusive, they would lose sales from the PS3 base, but they would lose far far more sales due to the 2:1 360 leading US fan base. Unless Sony and Bethesda had a merger, this aint going to happen.

Im not trying to flame you and do appreciate your what if scenarios, but maybe you are emphasising the console specific view a little too much?

Anyway this is a GTA4 thread so I stop here.

Well, if the game got out at the right time which would be close or little before Christmas then I wouldn't be worried. And besides the install base is now higher than before the PS3.

Aside from that Fallout has become a "well known series in the hardcore community. Especially since it was regarded as underappreciated.

The anticipation for this game is high, so I dont see how sales would disappoint. It would perhaps be the most stubborn or rather loyal gamers that wouldn't even touch it with a ugly stick.

Im just focusing this on PS3 since the rumor is obviously PS3 related.

But alright not no need to derail it even further, Im putting the end to it now here now too.
