Why did lost and the damned go to Xbox

mo money, mo money, mo money

I thought GTA4 sold considerably more on the 360...

Either way, MS had the capacity and will to give R* something Sony could not and did not (respectively);

I believe they sold similar comparitive to the consoles sales. So 360 version sold more, but due to the difference in PS3 and 360 numbers, the sales were comparative.

Also MS "loaned" R* a substantial chunk of money, which no doubt helped the decision process.

MS has that cash flow and they use it. It is there advantage.

It had something to do with M$.

I wonder if the rumors about Sony turning down GTAIV as an exclusive and out of spite Rockstar made the dlc for the 360.

Nahh, what am I saying. It was Microsofts wallet.

yea 360 version sold more, i remember gamermuzz posting a topic on it, when it released.

Anyway......ok dudes.....im getting sick of this......if you're tired of 360 getting all the content....maybe you should have bought a 360, instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a system basing its uberness off pure blind faith

Microsoft has money to throw away, this is microsoft as in windows, were talking here they aren't gonna play fair and say "well hey lets not be too mean to sony lets let them win the console war" xD, Developers are not giving away extra content because they oh so love microsoft they do it because chaaa ching, dont blame the developers or microsoft, blame sony, Blame sony for losing their top exclusives, blame sony for not paying for DLC, blame sony for possibly ensuring that more content gets released on Live because sony now wants to charge developers for content on their network, Blame sony for sony for everything lol

Dont blame microsoft, for doing exactly what a corporation is supposed to do, this isnt some childish game

Gah its just like ps3 owners complaining about fallout 3's content, and better graphics.....you already knew the content was 360 exclusive, and graphics were better, but you bought the ps3 version anyway

and another thing......i keep hearing ps3 fans say, the only reason they buy multiplats on ps3 is because free online......ok so you're telling me you spent all those hundreds of dollars on a system but cant spare $50 a year......yea thats just awesome

oh sorry :P kinda went into my own little world

Wait a minute, I thought it was just cash. Are you saying MS gave Rockstar $50 million worth of cocaine? That certainly explains a lot...

Simple. Microsoft paid big money for it.

Don't generalize, it comes off as ignorant. Yes a few PS3 owners complain, a vast majority do not, or simply don't care enough to understand.

I see what you are talking about, but don't fill it with such abhorrence.

get over it ps3 isnt the prefered platform this gen get over it , ,

sony pays not you , ,

just play your ps3 and what ever you like , , and stop asking this and that when you already know the answer , ,

why did xbox not get gta put ps2 did before it ,

you know that answer , its about the popularity and money especailly in a recession the wii and 360 prove to be the ones to develope for ps3 seams to prove that if you want to go bankrupt , develope an exclusive for it, any one free radical lol

Well i am a ps3 owner.....and i certainly dont want to generalize myself 0____0

PS3 is a great system, but i dont get how some people just cant come to terms with current events. when GTA IV was first talked about exclusive DLC for the 360 version was talked about on the regular......why are people still fussing over it, i have no clue, but bleh lol

microsoft gave rockstar 50 mill

same reason for the fallout3 dlcs, they did business while sony probably excpected to get them without doing business

i see... so Xbox paid Rockstar so much $$$$ that they wouldn't give it to PS3tri4ce5dude5

It was purportedly a loan to R*, which I don't doubt, certainly helped in the production of the game and DLC. So making the DLC exclusive, wouldn't have been ahuge problem.

It was less money for the developer to front, in production costs.

^ Yeah, uhu, look at 'em now.

With NO exclussives worth buying and 31 million loss. Japan sales are just painful to watch lol :lol:

And nothing to offer at E3.

1. MS didn't "lose" anything.

2. Exclusive's worth is an opinion. I don't think Killzone and Resistance are worth it. Thats MY opinion.

3. Even with Japan (for a month) Sony was in last place.

microsoft gave rockstar money to make it exclusive to the 360. i find kind of stupid to do. i don't like content that i have to pay for so i never bought it.iam2green

Hell, I don't like the series at all. But this isn't about us.

If MS sells 1.5 million copies of each DLC, they will have made their money back. Plus increased the perceived superiority of their service, which is almost priceless from a business marketing standpoint.

When Microsoft sells a 125 million consoles worldwide....then you can have all the pride you want.

But until then, have fun and good luck finding someone who surpasses that.

Oh and for the record, PS3 sales and 360 are pretty much equal. Microsft isnt beating them at all. So don't take mcuh pride in that if I were you.

With the way the 360 is heading, their juice has run out. :roll:

Erm, the 360 is something like 9 million ahead. That's a lot by the way. Sales worldwide are fairly even, but the 360 is still edging the PS3 out.

Also, look at DS sales, it's well on the way to beating PS2 sales. Very impressive.

Money, Money, Money......Moneeeeeymoose_knuckler
