It's not real. That "blank check" anecdote can't be serious.

Plus, Sony already told us why they let the GTA4 exclusivity go: So they could get the new exclusive franchise.

In fact, I think the first part of that quote by a Rockstar tech in regards to the Franchise, not GTA.

Sony no doubt realized what a huge mistake it was to not pay for exclusivity this time around (for GTA4) like they did for the two previous GTA-releases.

GTA is a system seller for sure and would have moved tons of consoles if it was a (timed) exclusive for PS3.

of a game that is one of the best selling games of all time for a new Pariah_001
well if that is the case then that is probably one of the worse decisions a company has ever made. Give up exclusivity on one of the best selling games of all time for a new IP? That would be like Sony saying let FF13 go multi plat so we can have Infinite Discovery.

how can you tell its a joke ?

"We handed Rockstar a signed blank check because we were short sighted enough to let Grand Theft Auto's exclusivity get away from us. Oops!"

You think they actually said that? Not to mention this was found in OXM.

why should it be? Thats the problem with sony, they dont own any of their big franchises outside of GT. Microsoft could actually just take Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and GTA away if they really wanted to.
