That's a pretty silly thing to say, ofcourse they could afford it

It just would be a waste of money if they did so

I would be disappointed in Sony if they let Agent drop into multiplatform. They have the opportunity to have one of the best studios in the world make an open world game for them, they should stick with it and ensure they keep it on PS4 only. That would have a massive impact on their console sales imho. It will be interesting to see what if any game Rockstar have lined up for May 2014.

Well it's confirmed rockstar are making some sort off exclusive content to playstation, so i guess we will have to wait

Nope I really dont think any company can realistically afford it. I think this goes beyond money.

I think you underestimate what the GTA franchise means to Rockstar. Its their premium franchise. Its not only about making up the lost profit (which is massive they make hundreds of millions on GTA) but everything else as well. A game going exclusive cuts out entire fanbases....it could possible reduce the popularity of the franchise. It can have a massive impact. Negative impact that is.

Why do you think Rockstar tried so hard to get out of the exclusive deal with Sony for GTA4 on PS3? They litererally said they will make Sony another AAA title in return. They knew it would be suicide to make GTA 4 exlusive.

So yeah i highly doubt this is a straight forward moneyhat.

No, sony just didn't want to pay for it anymore, and the reason why rockstar were going to make sony a AAA title in return, is because off la noire

best version confirmed (PC)

Sorry you are right. MS paid Take Two for GTA4 non exclusivity. 75 million aparently? And that was just to make a game non exclusive. LOL.

They got paid to make more money

In any case i still think you underestimate the cost Rockstar/Take Two will place on an exlcusive GTA without their being any sort of other factors coming into play. Sony cant realistically afford it.

Edit: It might be a case though where a next gen version was not planned at all. And sony paid Rockstar to port the game to PS4. That is possible i agree.

Updated with poll guys

iam gonna wait it out till theres a official confirmation that its not coming to next gen HW i'll say my limit is till spring next year if not PS3 it is

I agree, rockstar games needs their record sales for the GTA-series, the whole worth of the company depends on it.

With an exclusivity deal, they would never sell more units than with the GTA predecessors, that would not only hurt their revenue but also their reputation.

No way Sony can afford a deal with GTA.
