"GTA SA + Xbox = No, no."

This is from computerandvideogames.com

Okay, so do you want the good news or the bad? The good news is that Rockstar Games has reportedly announced Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC during Q3 next year. As for the downside, it appears that the publisher currently has no plans to bring the much lauded crime epic to the Xbox.
Take-Two's financial report, released yesterday, revealed that "additional products planned for fiscal 2005 from Rockstar Games include Grand Theft Auto for PC in the third quarter." However, there was absolutely no mention of an Xbox incarnation, which is bound to worry hordes of ardent followers of Microsoft's black box.

Indeed, when we visited Rockstar's London H.Q. recently, a spokesperson told us that it was unaware of any "other versions currently in development as all energies were being channelled into the PS2 game" - a statement which probably partly explains why the PC port is pencilled in for such a late release.

Still, we have to admit, it does seem strange that Rockstar is planning a PC version, and not an Xbox one. Rockstar UK issued a "no comment" as we went to press, but no doubt we shall bring you more on this soon.

As for the PS2 version, reports are stating that the game will be delayed by one week and will now release on October 29.

it would be purely spasticated not to release it on xbox.

If a game is said to be exclusive it is only so for 2 months before it may be released on another format.

Like releasing one MGS game on the X-box and Gamecube and then stopping.

it was the samething they said about gta 3 and vc, they said it was a ps2 exclusive and look now, its on the xbox. It seems almost fool hardy to neglect a console with a reasonable amount of gamers.

It's a bit bizarre to release 2 GTA games on the Xbox and then just "stop".

It'll come, sooner or later.

GTA: San An will be on the Xbox. << Full Stop, when is yet to be seen, Sony might have an exclusive 6 months deal, maybe longer, maybe shorter. Thought maybe by Easter it may be released but we'll have to see.

But GTA: San An will be a cert...

*6 months later*

..................

If you look at the next months issue of OXM in this months OXM it says they have all new info about GTA San Andreas

Put your hands up if you care about Sony

Nope, didn't think so.

I doubt they'd announce the Xbox game yet even if it was in development as that'd take away some sales from PS2 and really pi$$ Sony off.

Well, it's actually getting a PC port earlier than the previous games have, which leaves plenty of time for the inevitable Xbox version. Think about it, they could potentially double their sales, so would be silly not to.
