lmao

if you are talking about affordability,both companies can easily afford this,GTA is a game changer and no company would like such a big game to be exclusive to another console which will affect their console's sales alot

if they are smart enough,what kind of a rhetoric is that?any company even with a nutty management would like this but this scenario happening is very very very less

and Rockstar would offend alot of the GTA fans that will damage their name and they will lose alot of the sales too

if anything it would have some exclusivity of somekind like DLC for the PS3 version as Rockstar promised SONY something in return to let go of GTA 4 exclusivity and if Rockstar did this it would severely damage their long time relationship with SONY.

Buying Rockstar would be the ultimate meltdown



Hell no, terrible idea.



They can buy GTA 5 timed exclusivity.......or they can buy CoD timed exclusivity. They do neither. They will do neither.

They only buy timed exclusivity of new IPs for eg ME 1, Alan wake, Bioshock, Lost Planet,and others...Besides, GTA is stronger on PS, it would make little sense for Rockstar to not release it on there.

It is. It has always been. GTA 4 had an exclusive DLC along with a bigger install base in America for the 360, and yet

1
Grand Theft Auto IV (X360)
Rockstar Games, Action
5.10 0.13 2.69 9.24
2
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
Rockstar Games, Action
3.51 0.38 3.16 8.72

Not much difference there, now is there? Released back in 2007 as well. If a GTA is released now it will easily outsell the 360 version. As long as its available on the PS3 in time.

LOL 'it always has been' yet you show me figures where it's 500k ahead on X360, and I don't give a crap for the reasons why, that still means it's ahead and stronger on X360. Given you have no idea how a GTA would sell today, pipe down.



 

ummm.........no.

LOL I said its stronger on a "PS". So learn to read.

Its common sense, you don't care for the reason, that doesn't really matter now, does it? Is it stronger on playstation? It is. 500k is like 5% of the sales....lmao. What was the difference in console userbase back then? More than 50%. ( PS3 : 11 million, 360 : 17 million)

And yet the difference in software is not that big. So yeah, it is stronger on a PS brand, deal with it.



it wouldn't accomplish anything, GTA V will probably be the last AAA 3rd party game this gen
though GTA's primary is the xbox a strong userbase gets it for PS3 mainly due to the PS2 being the primary on the previous GTA titles.
