I think the bulk of new console consumers will look at this from a larger perspective as listed above. We know very little about these episodes just like we don't know much about GTA V, there's a very good chance GTA V will never see the day of light on the 360 while a PS3 version is pretty much guaranteed unless Microsoft buys Rockstar or something. The XBox saw a port because it was well specced for this game (the GameCube didn't and now the Wii doesn't neither) and sharing entry spec PC technology of the time, I think for GTA V the Rockstar dev team will want to push much further rivalling other PS3 games of the time, this thus hindering a 360 port.
Regarding these episodes how many will sign up for XBox live? Some Microsoft stats show a very large percentage of 360 users not even having signed up a free (non multiplayer supporting) silver account! How many will finish the game before GTA V arrives (I haven't completed San Andreas), GTA games are pretty big, doesn't it get boring after so much playing? And so it's maybe time to play some other fine games in between of the next major release? Many people don't even play much of the story, just steel cars, create havoc and let the police SWAT teams and helicopter chase after them in a cat and mouse play. IMO all points to consider, Microsoft can claim what they want and pump up their air balloon until it explodes in their face.
I think the console buyers who put features (or built quality) way below entry price wouldn't likely sign up for XBox Live gold, nor have a harddrive to store this content on, nor pay for additional content.
