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.


No it isn't.

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.

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%.

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

No I don't care for your reasons, they're shit. Cherrypick whatever you like to suit your needs but the LTD sales dictate where it's most strongest.

Given it's a franchise that does well in America, and X360 is by far the dominant console there, it's stupid to assume PS3 would run away with sales.



 

Around the Network

The stand alone expansion also sold better on the 360 compared to the PS3 even though it was already released on XBL...



This guy is at it again.

Cherrypicking? I am not cherrypicking anything.

LTD sales are almost equal (+/- 10%, remember?), and 360 has had to have an 1) exclusive DLC, 2) higher userbase to achieve it.

The America argument really doesn't work because a lot of games like final fantasy also sell well in America but didn't on 360. At least in comparison to PS3. The 360 version of GTA will always outsell the PS3 version in America though.

This does not have anything to do with the discussion.

This would be a bad move for Rockstar unless M$ pays alot of cash but I cant see this happening, probably with DLCs like before sure, but not an entire game.


Why do you people always have to add the dollar sign!  Does it make you feel better? 



I trust no one, not even myself.

The game itself? Nah.

If MS want to pay 100 Million for a timed exclusive DLC though, then sure.



                            

pff everyone knows it's a Wii U/iPad exclusive

No it is not common sense, it's simply your opinion.

Since your so sure that GTA will sell better on PS3 than the 360 do you want to make a bet?
