Microsoft pays 50 million dollars for GTA Exclusive Content

I still think it is unnecessary in the greater scheme of things (console sales) but MS will make money off people buying the add on stuff because Xbox Live users have bought massive amounts of much crappier stuff in the past (map packs, horse armor, gamerpics) and this is actually worth buying.

But here's the thing: they were already gonna make that money even if it was not 360 exclusive because the 360 version owners were gonna buy it. The only point of this seems to be to say 360 has something the PS3 doesn't.

In console sales, if a normal person was coming solely to buy the GTA playing console they would buy 360 anyway. Still think it's 50 million dollars unnecessarily spent.
