GTA Sony Exclusivity Reaffirmed - For Now

Posted by simoniker on Monday September 8, 2003 @06:25AM from the ngage-version-can-only-be-weeks-away dept.

Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for their article discussing Take Two's comments on console exclusivity for the Grand Theft Auto franchise, following the surprise announcement of the GTA 'double-pack' for Xbox, which came about because Take Two/Rockstar had "amended its exclusivity deal with Sony, which had previously prevented the games from appearing on any console other than the PS2." Despite this amendment, Take Two CEO Jeffery Lapin confirmed "...that the next [GTA] game will be on the PlayStation 2 (not the PlayStation 3 as has been speculated by some commentators) and will have an unspecified period of exclusivity on that platform." He also stated that the company "currently has no plans to bring the series to Nintendo's GameCube", but might re-evaluate if "financially prudent".

First PS2 people killed people, now Xbox owners are going to go on a killing spree too. Madness I tell you! Dead walking out of their graves, dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria!
