See this is hilarious. What makes people think that Microsoft has the upper hand in gaming? You all are delusional right now. Sony may very well have always had this exclusive bundle deal, as soon as Microsoft secured the exclusive DLC deal.
You dont think Rockstar was talking to Sony about the offer for DLC as well? Sony and Microsoft know much more about each other and their plans than anyone here does. DLC may have been a counter for a bundle, or vice versa, but to think that Microsoft has control over GTAIV is ridiculous. The Xbox360 is not reliable yet, and their sales were abysmal up until August of last year, and then fell into last place as soon as the new year hit. They have no pull. Sure they can pay off some companies, but what makes you think Sony can't?
Sony is going to keep outselling the Xbox360 in all regions every week, except for maybe when price drops occur and Gears 2 week. Its almost like 2008 is a relaunching of the PS3, with its higher price being justified with features and software. 360 fans are in complete denial, but did anyone last year really think they would accept that no one really cares for the Xbox360 anymore? It was only ever attractive being equal to the PS3 in features for a cheaper price and better software.
Now with the PS3 having many more useful features, much better software, and having less of a price difference, why would a console such as the 360 which BARELY beat out the PS3 last year all of a sudden be able to pull ahead, or even keep up? As far as brand loyalty goes, that well will run dry in about a year. This year, at a lower price, there simply isn't a reason to choose a 360 over a PS3. But you all will see, GTA is less than a month away

This reality check will be SO SO sweet. Even sweeter for me since I have been saying this would happen all along.
