How do you know that? That's just your personal opinion that you're trying to pass off as fact.


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 showed 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 it's 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.


Proof please. Because I see absolutely no logic in Rockstar giving up on what would likely be 5-6 million (if not more) in potential sales on the 360 for GTA V. Do you think the Rockstar dev team or Take-Two's business executives are Sony fanboys that're going to throw away hundreds of millions of dollars? Regardless of what some people might think most businesses aren't run by fanboys.

As for why the Xbox 360 is seeing the game, that's simple, Sony dropped the ball. And I'm willing to bet that Take-Two's executives are now very glad that they did.  I really doubt that they still have the same mindset they had back when they were starting GTA IV and everyone thought the PS3 was going to be a 70+% marketshare monster like the PS2.
