I'll make a bet for the fun of it. I do believe GTA5 will do better on PS3. What are your wages sir.

It wouldn't make sense at all... they'd have to spend literally hundreds of millions to get exclusive rights to the game, as R* and Take 2 would be missing out on some huge profits by not releasing the game on PS3, PC or Wii U at launch.

Pretty funny that I just saw a thread about this on the Gametrailers forums but it said it should be PS3 exclusive. You just came here to VgChartz and made the opposite.......

Anyway, if anyone deserves to have Grand Theft Auto V exclusively on their platform its Sony on the PS3. Rockstar would be stupid to alienate Playstation fans(which made GTA so successful).

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.

Grand Theft Auto IV was announced at Microsofts E3 200X(?) conference plus they had timed-exclusive DLC. Combine all this with the head start 360 had over PS3 its no surprise the 360 version ended up selling more. But considering that it only ended up selling ~500k more lifetime, it shows how strong the franchsie is on Playstation.

GTA V will most likely sell better on 360 but not by much. 

Its actually not a crazy idea. I mean MS spends like $500 million on advertising. It would likely be cheaper to get exclusivity on GTAV.

But I would suggest MS lock it as an exclusive for the entire gen. That could widen the sales gap significantly. So it could be worth it in the end.

Well first off the bet is off if either MS or Sony do something that gives them a clear advantage like timed exclusives, exclusive DLC, ect.

Anyways when GTA V releases we give it 3 or 6 months of sales (whichever one you prefer) before either one wins the bet. If 6 months after the release of GTA V the PS3 version is ahead you will win, if the 360 version is ahead I will win.

And I submit that the wages are 1 month sig control.

Sounds good to me although I expect 360 to start a bit stronger but ps3 to eventually steady on by but 6 months should be enough.

The interesting thing is if GTA5 sells nearly as much as 4 did or how much it would accutally cost MS or Sony to buy a GTA Title for 2 month exlusivity. 

i couldn't agree more. spend millions for one game or $1b that you would make back in no time with the list of ip mentioned by Seece just by buying them out, but Rockstar can't be bought.

i don't know if I can take this thread seriously...

Alrighty then. Although it seems as though mantle thinks it will start out bigger on the PS3.
