There’s not much meat on the bones of this story yet, buta murmur has surfacedhinting that Rockstar will soon be going PS3 exclusive once the multi-platformGrand Theft Auto IVis released. The rumor comes fromPlay Magazine, which claimed in itsGTAIVpreview:
“The game is both PS3 and 360, but Rockstar has suggested that all further game development is going to be PS3 exclusive.”
I’m not sure what to make of that. If it’s true, then that’s a huge potential success for Sony, but at the same time, it’s difficult to believe that Rockstar would choose to restrict its consumer base, especially withBully: Scholarship Editionpegged for release on the Wii and 360. That, and any potentialhostile takeoverscould put paid to such an ideal.
It’s a bit of a stretch for the moment until more details arise, so this is definitely in the rumor camp for now. If by some bizarre turn of events it turns out to be true though, it could be a most … interesting development in the current-gen console war.
