I said a title akin, as in similar in success and appeal, not actually GTA. And I was just saying we couldn't know what will happen in 2 years not that it won't go to PS3.

DC had huge financial issues no support from the biggest publisher in the world and all sorts of other issues. It simply is not a comparible situation. It did not have more sales than the PS2. Most of its sales occured after Sega announced they were about to halt production.

People buy consoles because the good software they want is already out. Only hardcore early adopters buy for potential.

Well I agree that we can't know what will happen in 2 years...

Why do people believe that DC thing....Sega announced they were discontinuing the DC after the PS2 had launched, not before, and the console launched 16 months before the PS2 taking many sales but it failed to gather enough momentum before PS2's launch...

"People buy consoles because the good software they want is already out". I agree, which is why I see PS3 winning when consumers favourite series from last gen like GTA, GT, MGS, Madden, Burnout, DMC, Tekken, FF etc all land on the PS3.

Last time I checked Madden and Burnout are on the 360, and GTA has been comfimred to come over to the 360. Why would consumers want to buy a more expensive console to play games that are on a cheaper console?

It would've taken a miracle. See, the problem was Sega was practically running on fumes by the time DC came out. For Sega to have simply survived, they needed the DC to become a runaway hit. It didn't, so when the PS2 came out, Sega knew it was game over. Situation's different this time with Microsoft. They're in it for the long haul and have plenty of capital to keep up the fight throughout the generation.
