Microsoft would end up benefiting more from the Release of GTAIV if they hadent already paid 50 million for the DLC.

But now they are already overly invested. If hardware sales are close at all in NA on the release week of GTAIV, then IMO Microsoft looses.

I believe WW, Hardware will be in Sony's favor, but if its within 10,000 of a difference in NA, then that will be telling for how well the PS brand is propelling itself.

Actually wasn't the $50 million just a loan?

Rockstar has to pay it back unless the $50 million isn't made up with DLC pricing.

So I'm just going to go ahead and call you wrong

 

so by that logic we can assume that the DLC is going to suck then? since it was free for microsoft.

 Doubt it.  Rockstar and take 2 were having some serious cash flow probs.  That 50 mil probably was helping to keep them afloat.

Me I think the DLC is going to be pretty substantial because of this.  Which would explain why what is supposed to be isn't being expanded opon.  Rockstar doesn't want to hurt PS3 sales by people who are pissed off the 360 version will be better.  Could even explain the rumors of PS3 also getting some token exclusive content.
