GTA IV Tops 1 Million in UK, Holds on to No.1; 360 Tops Chart

yeah.

So what happens if GTAV only comes out on Playstation 3 then?

Would xbox owners still pick up the ps3 version and try playing it on their xbox?

1. It was inevitable..with Ms's "1 Year strategy" which was able to saturate the Market with "potential user-base" before this game comes out(mind you this game was suppose to be out way before).

2. Plus the "Exclusive money deals".(which might have swayed gamers with the already lower price console.)

Look at DMC4 no longer just a PS game...

A lot of changing, there is more focus now on 1st-party games. You still have MGS and the FF series left to go multi-plat, whether it will who knows but "Snake" is leaving us as well.

Sh^ won't be the same..Some of the biggest 3rd-party franchises are slowing down or have gone multi.

I agree with u life goes on and tons of more games that I like better then this overrated game. Anyways MGS4 is more of a game I want to play then GTA4 and even if this is big news for MS, they do remember they are the ones who payed 50 million for extra content so they should be happy with this. Funny thing is I think its safe to say the ps3 has benefitted more with GTA4 with console sales more then 360 has but these guys will never through in those numbers because they are only looking at software sales.

Do you think that GTA 5 will be a PS3 exclusive??

Think again. With EA buying out Take Two which owns the GTA francise, I can guarantee that it will be multi-platform as all EA games get released on nearly all platforms.

I wouldn't be suprised if EA creates a DS GTA game!

Also remember that this crap about the X360 not being able to handle the graphics of GTA5. Yeah, that will probably be true, but how many years off is the next GTA game? 3 years? 4 years?

By that time the new, more powerful Xbox will be out, and more than capable of running a new GTA game!

The main thing here is that EA will own Take Two by the time the new GTA is out, and they will milk it for all it worth all the platforms they can!

This is a duplicate story though, but its all good. Congrats to all the 360 fanboys soaking up the good news...you guys deserve it

We all know EA. GTA5 will not be exclusive, no way in hell.

Either way bad news....

just look at the sales figures! do you really think microsoft are gonna let rockstar just not make the game because of a lack of hdd?? they will say make the game, and slap "hdd only" on the package! by then, the 360 will be in close to 30mil homes..and most will have hdd's by then anyway. and the rest...will just have to buy one!

and as to disc space, i saw something wrote on here the other day which said. make the game on two discs if it was needed. 1 disc to load permanently onto the hard-drive, and the second to compliment the first with the extra bits needed! so in theory, you only need one disc to play...not ideal, but better than no gta imo.

If the sales/Dollars speak louder than words then his words have no meaning.

Edit: @below:

SO games with even bigger environments and longer gameplay like MassEffect/Oblivion can get released on single dvd9 but not the next GTA? And this one btw was around 7.2gb. Ever heard of compression? THey can even make it HDD only version so whats stopping them?

Edit #2 way below. Thanks mate. Same to u .

Edit #3 @below: Comeon who wouldn't want to taste the money pie? Why make something for one console only when you've already made a very successful game on the other console as well. Its not that they have to learn new things, they'll probably end up using same engine and using more tweaks and stuff to iron out the issues. And dont expect V to come anytime soon. IN next 2-3 years the user base of both console will be even higher.

The gaming GOD - 593 days 22 hours ago

Sales/Dollars don't make dvd9 disc capacities any larger or hard drives magically appear into every 360 console. My point was is that even if they try to make it about the money, If it can't be done, then it can't be done. Plain and simple

@Edit for above- Of course I've heard of all that. The thing is so have the developers that make the games. So even with that knowledge, Houser STILL said it.

Besides, every developer is different. Just because ONE team can do something with their game doesn't mean another team can do the same thing with their own game.

@ Edit- for sak-

Dude, I feel you on that. EVERYONE wants that green stuff (money). But money doesn't always make the impossible possible. True, the install base for both systems in that 2-3 year time span will be way higher. But that goes back to what I said, money doesn't make everything possible. The install base doesn't nullify dvd9 size or the 360 owners without a hard drive. Yeah, you're right, they may very well even use the same engine. But even then, we don't know what alterations they'd make

You both have good points. I just hope the conversation stays reasonable. This is n4g, so you know some fanboy from 360 or ps3 is gonna say something to mess it up

Final Fantasy was a "Nintendo game". It certainly isn't now.

Agree(6) | Disagree(2) | Report

Marceles - 593 days 20 hours ago

Well everything had to start somewhere, it's not like Final Fantasy has ever been a multiplat until FF11 came out, and FF certainly wasn't gonna start on the Atari. They needed the CD technology so they went with Playstation, and no one was gonna say "buh buh it's a Nintendo game!"... Nintendo just chose to stick with cartridges instead of coming out with the N64 DD. FF is just a bad example...Crash Bandicoot was a "Playstation" game, it's not now, Sonic was a "Genesis/Dreamcast" game, we can go on and on...

Please stop spamming your Saint's Row 2 crap in every GTA 4 thread.

It's off topic, and it's annoying. And this is coming from someone who LIKES Saint's Row (despite it being an obvious, blatant rip-off).

Fishy Fingers - 593 days 20 hours ago

Come on dude, people dont make exclusives purely on brand loyalty, it allows them to maximize a piece of hardware rather than having to compromise and make a multi-plat.

To some developers its still about doing the best they can rather than sucking every last penny that they can.

You are funny.

So you're a soothsayer now.

Can predict the future.

By september sales on the 360 will probably pick up due to the DLC about to be released.

The uk is the biggest market in europe
