Rumor - RockStar Games going PS3 exclusive

[BR7]

While things have certainly changed since the launch of the PS3, there is still one major complaint that people have about Sony’s flagship console. The fact that the PS3 doesn’t have an excessive amount of exclusive titles is brought up wherever fanboy arguments break out. For those of you sitting in the PS3 camp, you will likely be able to tell your 360-loving enemies that all future Grand Theft Auto titles will likely be exclusive to your favorite console.
While nothing has been completely confirmed, a RockStar employee has suggested that further gaming development will be exclusive to the PS3. You can find the quote in this month’s Play Magazine.
I really wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they decide to take the exclusive route. RockStar and Take Two aren’t in the best financial position, so a truckload of money from Sony for exclusive rights would be pretty hard to pass up.

Sony must be offering a huge amount of money for RockStar to ignore the 18 million 360 owners, and the market leading console in terms of software sales and profit.

If the console war is anything like the HD war, sales is key, and all other things like exclusive contracts (see Paramount) are useless. The console that sells the most software is the one developers all want to develop for eventually.

I personally do not like this whole exclusive fiasco.Madden is a very good example of this.No sooner then they knocked Segas NFL 2K out of the NFL racket, Madden has went downhill big time.I think competition is healthy and better products are the end result.
