No chance.They sell too much on the other consooles/Pcs to even consider that option.It would be just a plain stupid move

th way PS4 is going and with a price-cut and exlcusive,the lead is gonna extend and alot of X360 fanbase is on PS4 and USA fanbase with COD on PS4

PS4 is almost 2:1 to XBONE and look at GTA5 NEXT GEN sales again 2:1 and will increase even more.

GTA5 has sold 27million on PS3 and PS4 and 19million on X360 and XBONE.It can easily become 10 million for XBONE and 25million for PS4 with SONY spending $200 million on marketing and ROCKSTAR spending $200 million on marketing,it could easily become 35 million on PS4 with the rest 10-15 million for XBONE and PC Late release which will bring it equal to GTA5 and this is for first game in generation.Look at how GTA4 sold as it released early on a smaller install base.Later on for GTA7 it could even be 40million on PS4 and 10-15 million on XBONE.

 

If you would say you don't think so,that would be alrite but in no way is it NOT ATALL POSSIBLE cause it quite possible after the way SONY are going,even for GTA

 

 

they won't lose 1 sale from GTA5 if they went exclusive

Even if it was true, and those numbers are in no way realistic, it would still be a bad business decision, because of 2 main reasons:

1) Even if only 30% of the sales came from xbox and pc, we are still talking about MILLIONS.Rocksatr wouldnt just throw it all away just for some exclusivity deal that will do more harm than good(and that includes the marketing costs that supposedly sony would cover, which again wouldnt happen.They wouldnt at least cover it 100%, because it is alot of money to spend in one game that is not even owned by them.)

2)That would piss off fans, and that is the worst mistake here.Fans are the best marketing a game could ever get, and by doing this move they would only hurt the brand.

So no, this is not happening.
