And where did you here this news, or is it just a silly little rumour?
-
Well it\'s a silly little rumour...
Cause Sony said before the launch of GTA3 -
"This game is absoultely groundbreaking and we are proud to have a game of it\'s calibre on the PS2, it will do very very well and along with State Of Emergency in 2002, we can exclusively reveal that Rockstar will be working with us till GTA5 plus add ons of course...and maybe beyond should they have the energy and passion to carry on working with Sony"
Just like the rumor that little Billy Gates was gonna jealously buy up th complete Final Fantasy, GT, Tekken, Metal Gear Solid licenses cause he\'s rich!
Keep em coming, I enjoy having a laugh!

Of corce its False !
Rockstar would burn their own fingers if they snibbed the PS2 after the success of GTA3.
Also having a User base of 30million world wide wouldn\'t go a miss when they come to sell GTA4 and State of emergency ;).
-
but all of these points would mean nothing is microsoft actually bought the company :p
-
How big do you think the xbox userbase would become if MS did buy Rockstar and Take Two? They\'d have almost every American gamer that\'s for sure.
-
hasn\'t Sony got a contract with take two for 1 year console rights to the next three instalments of the grand theft auto series
-
Well, I\'m certain that the Xbox will get a boost in sales if the bought Take Two. Bringing the GTA series as an exclusive. However, I don\'t see it as a huge boon considering that other then GTA series and the soon State of Emergency, what else does Take Two have that will be worth a damn for the Xbox if they were bought by MS?
-
Ya.. I guess it\'s true that they wouldn\'t turn their backs on ps2 after great success..
-
GTA3 sold for 100 Million US dollars on the first few days..
[Getaway corrected me]
And if the other rumours are true that Sony got the GTA series to be exclusive for 4 years.. Well it would not matter.
-
take two own dma they bought them in 1997 from infogrammes for $1 million but they had a debt of $13 million so the total was $14 million but i doubt that they will turn there back on sony because sony is a money maker for the developers

Ummm you mean 20million world wide not 30. Which still crushes every other console. But for the right price you never know who wouldn\'t sell there soul. I don\'t doubt Bill buying them out.

GTA3 is the only one in the series that has gotten this huge attention from casual gamers. Sure if Ms does buy it. It will be a game casual gamers remember. I don\'t think it would hurt ps2 sales.
And you sure about the 100million dollar thing?? I doubt it sold that much. It could not have done better than FFX. I believe it when I see it. Because if that\'s true that\'s huge.

far as i knew it was 28million+ sold worldwide...even more shipped...
it was about 20 million in October... yeesh, get with the times old man :p
-
who the f*ck cares its all speculation u could sit here all day and b*tch and moan and argue, but unless u know someone you aint got ****, and if sony has a contract why the hell would ms buy them cuz the contract would have to be honored and that would be plain stupid.
-
Today, Sony\'s main office in Japan announced that it is lowering the shipment target for the PlayStation 2 console in 2002. Earlier the target number was 20 million for the year ending on March 31, but now it looks more like 18 million. Sony said it shipped 5.42 million units in the three months through December, up from the 2.88 million units sold the previous year.
Sony announced that it has sold a total of 24.99 million units as of the end of December
I\'ve also read they sold 20 million by Dec...Sony seems indecisive.
-
yes...but i said 28million+..
who are you going to believe...reputable websites or Sony themselves...or me?? i think its prettty obvious..
:p
well thanks for the infor ginko (even if it is a tad bit ambiguous *loves that word*)

Anyhoo either way (20 millin or Close to 30 million)
Do you Realy think Rockstar will close themselfs off to that Ever GROWING market just sell their souls to the Devil ...errrm sorry Bill gates ?

They would be fools to do so, in a time were most developers are loving the Multi platform thing
Multi platform = mpre Cash for them :D

According to ps2.ign\'s "Off the Record," (http://ps2.ign.com/news/41557.html) Grand Theft Auto Miami and Grand Theft Auto 4 are currently in developement on the PS2.
Grand Theft Auto Miami and 4 In Development
Anyone who follows videogames knows that when a game makes the big time, like say...Grand Theft Auto III, a sequel is bound to happen. And granted, GTA3 IS the third in a series, GTA4 is naturally inevitable. Well, guess what? We have heard from good sources that Rockstar and DMA already have begun madly working on a follow-up to Grand Theft Auto III, called Grand Theft Auto Miami, which -- shockingly! -- takes place in none other than the lovely warm beaches and streets of Miami, homes of the Cuban mafia and drug smugglers abandon. That should appear on PS2 by year\'s end 2002. Smart and sweet. It\'s supposed to be more of an add-on, rather than a full-fledged sequel. Boy, that\'ll sell like, erm, gangbusters...
Not only that, but DMA is hard at work on Grand Theft Auto IV, the proper sequel to GTA3, and that should be complete by year\'s end 2003. Sounds good to us. We\'re still playing GTA3 and having a load of fun.
I have heard that in GTA3 around the airport there is a sign that says something like, "see you in Miami." :)
