50 million???? LOL.... wow way too much to spend for additional content seriously...
I had heard 30 million elsewhere and thought that was insane but this is just ridiculous.
Anyway it's good for 360 owners when they get to play the extra content (it won't be free either I'm sure) |
I'm not so sure. This is the most important third party franchise on any console, without question. In America and Europe, it dwarfs everything else. For people who want to play this game, they now can choose between buying a 600 dollar console to play GTA IV, or a 400 dollar one that has the definitive version of the game. This is a game that sells a ton of consoles, and I think it's reasonable to estimate that 75+ percent of the people that buy a console with this game in mind will be buying a 360 now. |
In Europe Pro Evolution Soccer dwarfs GTA .As simple as that .Besides the ultimate version of the game wont depend on the episodic content but on wich one runs better have best first impression .You wont sell many systems on the promise of exclusive content (paying it of course ) some months later .And we all know this kind of agreements ,2k will find sooner or later a way to churn out some exclusive content as well on the PS3 and that way receiving money by both manufacturers .

Unless you can do some radical re-defining of the word "dwarfs," you're going to have to explain to me how Pro Evolution is a bigger deal than GTA, even though GTA sells 2-3 times as many copies. Here's a bit more evidence, just in case this hasn't sunken in yet.

Here are all the PS2 games, put in order of most sales in PAL territories to least. Grand Theft Auto occupies the 1st, 2nd, and 4th highest positions.
