Why would they give MS full exclusivity for free??? PS: if some of you had read every post in the thread like you claim you would already know this. So I'll re-post the link so it's easier to find. http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=700735 |
@ Shura - rolling on the floor laughing my butt off.
@ rasone - actually, R* offered GTA series exclusivity to MS for free back in the day - and they shunned it. R* took the free exclusivity to Sony and created a riot. MS couldn't lock down complete or even timed exclusivity, so they went to ... you guessed it - digital download. And they paid T2 for it - granted the episode makes over $50M. They just have to sell 1.25M copies of the DLC to make money. Maybe there is an escape clause that will put it on the PS3 - maybe not. But I can tell you, based on attach rates, R* will make that money and then some. Just watch and see.
