OK so PGC i saying it from a magazine but it could also sway the other way rumours suggest GTA3,4,5 etc... being PS2 exclsuive! No X-box news and GBA being canned rumours might see this as being correct...
We shall see.
More good news- Burnout is coming to both Xbox and GC. It's true. Read www.xboxaddict.com
> rival consoles stealing games from each other again.
Sigh i aint gonna bother....
YES GC games will be made for 7-8 years next Nintendo console about 5 years, its how nintendo do things.
GTA is such a big title Sony will need to pay so much for exlcusiveness now it has reached international stardom...
And TBN i have a dreamcast my brother has a PS2 and i know which i'd rather choose :D
A gamecube.
> GTA3 is going to ex-box and PC at the end of november after a years
> exclusiveness agreement to Sony. As for 4 & 5, i pray they are PS2
> exclusives, but the companies get more money multi-format.
You're certain of that?
Nobody thought that GameCube would be out anytime before June at the earliest predicting all the delays, yet Nintendo have hinted that it could be released at the end of February!
Don't take anything for granted in the gaming universe!
And what planet is Miyamoto on?
Seriously though, I don't give it more than 5 years at best. A lot may depends on Sony's Playstation 3, when that's out in x years time (which is gonna be less than 8).
How long was the N64 around for? Was is march 96 or 97 it was released? Either way you can't say it lasted more than 5 years, abosolute tops - and that's when it was the only realistic alternative in a two console race. With three in the next round, and assuming no early drop outs, I can't see the lifespan extending by 60%.
Unless of course, we reach that fabled point where nobody really cares about the slight imporvement in visuals in the next console up?
I vote we just send Bonus down to the Rockstar office, which he lives next door to, and see what they say. He's matey with them, y'know. Wink wink. :)
