Although no one wants to admit this and point fingers.. The 360 is to blame for the delay.

I quote:

"On PS3 you've got a guarantee that every machine is going to have a hard-drive and, with Blu-ray, you've got plenty of storage, whereas on Xbox 360 there's no guarantee of a hard-drive and you're working with the DVD format. Does that create limitations?" To which he replied, "Yep."

Later... (after microsoft givesthe cash) "We don't think it's helpful or BENEFICIAL to go into exact details of what the TECHNOLOGICAL issues are."


P.S. wtf does the wii have to do in this?

Why ask? Everybody already knows it is microsofts fault. Rockstar already stated they are having problems getting everything on the DVD disk and ms said it can't be on two disk. Here, read this http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=111775 and also read this http://www.ukrebellion.com/2007/08/xbox-360-problems-delay-gta-iv.html. Now we can all stop asking the question that we all know the answer to. It is because the 360 is DVD and also because not every 360 comes with a HDD..

Didn't we just hear this week that the PS3 version was way behind the 360's? Also, the only footage we have seen so far is from the 360 version. I'm not trying to be a fanboy, but it doesn't seem to me like it's quite so cut and dry.

The Wii is clearly at fault here. With the release of Metroid Prime 3 and Brawl so close, R* inevitably delayed the game.

It's Shigeru Miyamoto's fault. He recently said he doesn't like violence and drugs in games. Rockstar feared.

Blatant misinformation and lies. Once again, the cows miss the entire quote-- they were having issues with BOTH systems on different things. BOTH HAD THEIR CHALLENGES. I'm not going to dig up the entire quote, but it's there. If you are only quoting half of what someone says you are blatantly purporting misinformation (or lies, to put it bluntly)

Also:

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13629/GTA-IV-May-Be-Delayed-Says-Analyst-One-Reason-Halo-3/

A little biased, but it's possible. And let's use some logic here: if the 360 is the problem, why are BOTH GAMES BEING DELAYED? Please, use your brain.

I knew rediculous threads would come with fanboys at each others throats over whose fault it is even though no one has any idea. Just for the hell of it I should vote Wii.

LOL can noone read here? i guess the guys at rockstar are lying about the 360 and having a hard time getting the game on a DVD??? oh and trying to blame the ps3? the ps3 version is finished, or it will be in october, if you had read the links you would know this... but of course someone has to explain it to you. and now microsoft is stopping rockstar form releasing the sony version? Microsoft and the 360 is clerly the ones to blame, they also said they're working on a new compression tech for the DVD9 format, yet wont be useable until next year? its by far the 360's fault for this delay

I have a ps3 and 360 and both console has their upsides and downsides, but we saw from many reviews before, we knew the 360s DVD format was going to cause problems for publishers. The 360 still has time to have some great games released, yet it looks like its going to the max already... sad, i may sell my 360 soon

Last time I checked, Sony, MS or Nintendo WERE NOT making GTA4. You can only blame Rockstar for delaying it. If all else fails, blame Canada, we can handle it :P

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe it is Rockstar's fault??? I find it funny how they can be working on a whole new PS3 IP when GTAIV is in the state that its in that it needs to be delayed 4-6 months. To me, that is a sign of bad management.

It's no one's fault, the developers need more time for the game's development. It happens with lots of games.

Now find a link to some GTA video from the PS3 or even easier, a screenshot.

RockStar got scared because of the blockbuster titles like (Hour of Victory, Vampire Rain, Outfit, etc...)

Which is why it got delayed....

Lol, what a laugh, it claims the PS3 is the lead platform also. The 360 has a playable demo out, theres not even so much as a screenshot for the PS3 version. I can't believe you thought that guys blog was a reliable source.

I blame the FCC and the government. I mean after the Janet Jackson incident everything went bananas. Bush became president, lead us to war for oil, re-elected Bush, poor relief efforts for hurricane Katrina, gas prices went up, and made Manhunt 2 have an AO rating at first.

The special edition duffel bags were poorly made so they had to redo them and the lock on the safe was causing friction with the safe thus making them unsafe for retail.....there, I told you.

Rockstar. Who else could you blame? It's not as if the PS3 or 360 changed their hardware recently. They knew what they had to work with.
