And so far they're executing to perfection, with absolutley no resistance from Sony.
They're letting Microsoft win with a Multi platform game. A game they have just as much rights to. It's not even the DLC that's doing them in.
They're just letting Microsoft have their way with marketing the biggest game of the year.
That's just sad to watch, if you're a PS3 fan.
This is gonna be as costly as when they underestimated the importance o...
Hopefully it will send a message because they're starting to tank again.
They're basiclly surrending Europe with exclusive 360 commercials of GTA IV and a price difference that is making the 360 a lot more attractive again.
We're still not even sure that these commercials aren't gonna make it to the United States also. And what's Sony's hope for April?
GTA is PS2?
Reality check, reality check, reality check
Knowing Mic...
So far, I say Sony is loosing the GTA IV war. Microsoft is making some very good commercials advetising the game and then showing the 360 console and price.
How can some people not buy into that? Especially when the PS3 in Europe is a lot more expensive.
I warned 360 was gonna win. And I Still think 360 will win April by way more. Because of GTA IV.
Seriously, why do people fight so much over this game? It wasn't all that good and it didn't sell all that good.
It wasn't a game that pushed consoles or anything.
XBOX 360 outsold PS3 in March. The XBOX brand is just too strong in North America and in Europe sales are equal or XBOX 360 is winning because they just doubled sales after the price cut.
so XBOX 360 is winning, and still you see Microsoft more hungry than Sony trying to push GTA IV.
While Sony just does nothing still thinking customers are gonna flock to PS3 because GTA is PS2. I'm a PS3 fan but damn, I'm sometimes not sure if Sony is tough enough to compete.

Some will say XBOX live is still better, and maybe it is for hardcore gamers.
But I don't think XBOX live has the social appeal than Home could have with it's personal avatars and clothing.
Home looks basicly like a MMO Sims.
We might be overlooking it. If it turns out to be good, it could be a virtual social community that attracts everyone even non gamers.
You know places like youtube and myspace are crazy popular.
But the idea of the PS3 version looking better suddenly seems a possibility with the information we've heard.
I mean we've heard that some of the Rockstar developers themselves think the PS3 version looks a little better.(that came from 1up, not fanboys)
And then you got that install for the PS3 version. Could actually be an advatage to making the game run smoother or have better load times.
Installs, It could be a luxury because every PS3 owner ha...
Could this be the damage control? Releasing this right before the NPD?
I guess well see tomorrow.
at Rockstar saying PS3 version looks slighty better.
That's a quote straight from 1up, who spoke with Rockstar employees.
I sense the anger from XBOX b*tches, they wanted it so bad for their version to be better. I don't blame them, this is all they really have this year.
What a great game. I also heard it's more plotline this time, like you gotta find someones wife and human things like that.
Sometimes It's a pitty there has to be console wars. Every great game should be on 1 console. So everyone can play it.
But the problem is, I want that 1 console to be PS3. Others want it to be XBOX 360. That's why we can never agree.
Means you don't have a HDD. So that doesn't make sense.
Unless you mean, they left it optional on 360 so that the core users who don't have an HDD won't suffer.
rumors are that the 360 version is brighter. That doesn't mean better or worse. So it's a matter of opinion.
It's weird that some Rockstar employees actually said they "think" the PS3 version looks slightly better. That's coming from 1up themselves.
There's gonna be a lot of comparisons and a lot of argument over this.
OMG! I hope the sixaxis use for cars is optional. Don't scare me like that.
There's gonna be some humble pie eating.
Not from me, I don't underestimate the 360. As a PS3 fan I'll be disappointed but it's probably gonna be close regardless.
When you consider how the PS3 was getting squashed a year ago. There's still a lot of positive if you look at the big picture. But you get spoiled and expect PS3 to just start running around the 360.
I think some could end up eating humble pie because a lot of the PS3 fans are way too ar...
FFX, one of the best ever.
buy some real next gens systems please!
They just have a no gimmick console that's all about providing people with all the games they can. They have had a goal from the very start, it was to get as many great games for their console as possible. They have stolen all sorts of former exclusive franchises from Playstation.
They knew from that start what they wanted. And people who buy XBOX 360 know what they want and what they are getting. And that's games.
