That Sony has purchased the 4 year console rights to Grand Theft Auto. Kinda like they did for Tomb Raider before.
The game is still coming to PC, I guess. I didn\'t made this up. It supposedly originates from the Japanese PS2 developer that has contacts in the industry.

I doubt it. Sony never bought the rights to, nor contracted a deal for Tomb Raider from Eidos. TR1 was on the Saturn and a seperate Tomb Raider game was on the GBC.
My money is on Rumor.

Sorry, I added the TR part as that was how I remembered, being obviously ignorant. It was not the part of the original rumor (and I repeat - RUMOR) Btw, GBC does not constitute a console port and DC version came out much later (it was TR4 if I remember - TR2 & 3 were PS only if I\'m not mistaken again)
-
nope, it\'s not an exclusive, coming to X Box fall 2002.
-
And also to the Game Boy Advance
-
well, right now, Rockstars site only says GC and GBA, no XBox, although a press release from last year announced they were working on that and other titles for the big X.

Just as with PC, GBA does not constitute as a console (It\'s a handheld).
As far as I can see, Rockstar site mentions only PS2 and PC versions.

TR1 came on the Saturn before Sony made the deal.

Good because maybe Xbox can tweak it a small amount for some effects, plus I don\'t want to see GTAVII on the PS3.:laughing:

Yes Ive heard it aswell...
It might be true.. Or it might not..
We must wait and see..
GTA3 has sold over 1.4million in the states alone..
Those 1.4million+ on PS2 plus a nice little moneyhat might have changed Rockstars mind? (We all know GTA3 will not sell as good on Xbox as it has on PS2... Keyword: Userbase)
We will know in a few days I guess.. :)

and just give me one reason why it wouldn\'t sell as good on X Box? its not like 50% of the majority of poeple that have X Boxes are 7 year old kids.
With the extras and improved stuff im sure it will be a smash.

Because the userbase is what - 1.5 million if it\'s to trust microsoft? It would never sell more than 300-400000 copies
Worldwide sales for GTA3 are 3 million so far, I think.

Cuz. Xbox userbase is something like 1.5million right?
PS2 userbase is 8million..
GTA3 sold 1.4million in the US of A.. Thats 17.5% of all US PS2 owners.. Not everyone is interested in games like GTA3..
Now if GTA3 was going to be released for Xbox it would maybe sell 500 000-600 000..
It all comes down to the userbase ...
