Its of course "possible" but no. I do not think Rockstar are the type of company who can even be bought out, ad even if they could the amount they would ask for in terms of exclusivity would beyond what sony could realistically offer. Anything sony could offer, MS would beat....Expect some timed exclusive DLC but nothing more


**cough**

ROCKSTAR doesn't have allegiance to either company but they have big relationship to SONY and PS2 has a major part in ROCKSTAR's success.

GTA would be a Timed exclusive not a full exlcusive as it has always been,10-15million sales would easily be couped up a year later launch on XBONE and PC.

 

the way its going they would need to pay as low as $100 million or as high as $200-300million OR they would just put $200million for marketing GTA6 which they would as it is do even if it was multiplatform so its actually not charging them atall.SONY spent $100million for GTA5 marketing on its own not even a deal with ROCKSTAR and MICROSOFT spent $100million for GTA4 marketing.

thats chunk change for what it would do not just for PLAYSTAION as a brand but also SONY

 

and thats if they don't already have an exlcusive deal with ROCKSTAR

Rockstar would only sell either one DLC, timed exclusive? Hell no When you make a game that sells on any system it is put on, You hold all the cards. 

but game companies need not been arrogant as EA,Activision,SONY,Nintendo,Microsoft,TAKE-TWO,THQ,UBISOFT all know they need connections and support as they have fallen big time from their top position

Even ROCKSTAR can't just depend on just GTA as gaming landscape and genre change fast and they need good relations to launch other games

Don't believe me? Look at Call of Duty. The amount of money needed to hold a game off another console (temporarily) that has an user base that also buys the hell out of that game would be too high for either company.

no it wouldn't be.Call of DUTY is a kids shooter game,they have absolutely no loyalty and fluctuate and X360 is big in NA and PS3 is big in EUROPE so they needed both consoles.if it was just NA,microsoft could have easily bought off acitvision exlcusivity and ACTIVISION is a much much different company from TAKE-TWO and ROCKSTAR,ACTIVISION has STARCRAFT,CALL OF DUTY,DIABLO,WARCRAFT,GUITAR HERO,DESTINY and was owned by a conglomerate Vivendi which are known for multiplatform game.Compare that with TAKE-TWO,owner of ROCKSTAR GAMES and their only major and proven franchise is GTA.

Besides why waste that money locking up timed exclusivity, when you can fund new IP's, or does that scenario only apply to Sony's competitors..

LMAO.................waste money.the way you are saying the game is too big and then you say waste money on that game

even DLC,Marketing and Bundle exclusivity for GTA would do grand things for PS4 or XBONE and a TIMED exclusivity of one year would make that platform the main gaming destination and put the generation handility in that platform's hand

You wrote a novel for something that could be answered with one word.

No, it's not going to happen.

Lol never Sony would have to spend a billion to get it as a full exclusive and they couldn't even do that for Shenmue 3,Street Fighter V and FF7re.

First off, the XB1 isn't bombing.  It's tracking ahead fo the 360.  It only appears to be bombing due to the massive sales of the PS4.  Secondly, Sony's E3 conference was full of niche titles, multiplats, and games that won't release until 2016 and beyond (except for Uncharted which is mainstream).  If you haven't noticed, the PS4's exclusives for the rest of the year are indies, remakes, and niche titles.  Those don't sell consoles, sorry to tell you the truth. 

Microsoft had an awesome E3 and showed that they're dedicated to the XB1 by showing 7 exlusive titles that are coming to XB1 this holiday season.  I don't understand why people are downplaying that.  Microsoft is making a comeback, whether you like it or not.  

well after 360 lead and destroying plsyation brand equity from ps2 days.being outsold 2:1 after MS has spent $15billion on XBOX brand is called BOMBING

tracking ahaead of 360 means nothing.PS4 exlcusives for rest of the year may be lacking but they have MGS5,BATMAN,CALL OF DUTY,BATTLEFRONT,ASSASSINS CREED,HTIMAN Bundle,DLC and MArketing.theat should be more than enough......hehe.And they might still have FINAL FNATASY 15 2015 release and a PRICE CUT.They will sell many more consoles than XBONE,its main competitor with only one main solid franchise that is HALO5 and even that may be down as HALO has been milked to death over the last 10years.

Microsoft are making a comback.......................lmao.Maybe you didn't watch SONY press conference

maybe if SONY wasn't having a price cut,uncharted in march 2016 or any of the exlcusive deals with third party and no FF7,LAST GUARDIAN ,SHENMUE then you could say MS is making a comeback but no way they are now

Not gonna happen. GTA is probably the hottest commodity in the business, sony would have to pay out the ass for exclusivity, as in hundreds of millions of dollars. Sony could probably make it back in the long run but instead they could pay a fraction of that for exclusive marketing and content and profit far more.

 

the way its going they would need to pay as low as $100 million or as high as $200-300million OR they would just put $200million for marketing GTA6 which they would as it is do even if it was multiplatform so its actually not charging them atall

Can we stop pretending that this kind of stuff is a good thing?

why?

it shows how much a company is dedicated to winning and competition



Landguy on 18 June 2015

Is the OP really just theDrill? Are these ideas globally in the US?

OT: NO. Too much money for even MS to consider...



It is near the end of the end....

make it ps4/pc. rockstar gets money out of sony for "exclusivity" and xbox guys are happy cause windows is a microsoft platform. hell, by the time GTA releases they'll probably be able to stream all their pc games to xbox,.. it's just like having it on xbox anyways.

it's a win/windows10 situation.

i talked about TIMED exclusive

AFTER 1 YEAR,it will be on XBONE and PC anyways.

and no way is PC platform ahead of XBONE
