Seeing as how GTA started out on Playstation I doubt R* would want to ruin that relationship, as for the chance of the 360 looking better? Highly unlikely since programming for the PS3 has finally been figured out, what I expect to see is close to identical looking games but with more people and traffic on the PS3 version thanks to the Cell processor.

 Did you not read around, the PS3 had better texturing, so like mentioned above, to the consumer identical, but technically, better on PS3.

uuuhhhh i didnt say that was a key move... but it seems if they wanted to keep a good relationship with rockstar north and keep exclusives coming from that company then it probably was the best move.... the whole point of this convo was to prove that sony has it written somewhere that GTA IV could not be released on the 360 first i think that was all but proven today with the comments by Rockstar...

"GTA" games haven't missed their announced release dates before. When the delay was announced in August, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told investors that "the reason it is being delayed is almost strictly technological problems — not problems, but challenges." Barrera offered a little more detail to MTV News this week: "It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to that. Now, we're neck and neck. That's not an issue anymore. But back then that was something we were taking into account. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the PS3 version. It's awesome. They're both identical."


It should come as a surprise to those insisting the 360 was the sole source of challenges to the game.
