Hi. I've heard that Grand Theft Auto 3 will soon be coming to X-Box, and there'll be tons of new features like choosing which person you want to be, etc.
However, it has also been brought to my attention that Sony have (selfishly) bought the rights to the GTA games for the next few years so only PS2 players can experience the pleasure.
As I've heard that X-Box GTA3 production is finished/almost finished it would be impractical to can the whole project and sensible to go through with it.
What are Rockstar playing at? If GTA3 and Vice City come out on X-Box, they'll definitely be the best and probably sway me to buy the console. Anyone know what's going on?

Right. I always thought Halo was made by Microsoft like Age Of Empires.
I'm not sure what you mean by that, Halo was developed by Bungie and Published by Microsoft (i think)
Microsoft owns part of Bungie anyway.

Halo's an official Microsoft game isn't it?

And why do you think they own bungie? They bought it so they could have the long awaited game on their system.
That was the official excuse given for munch. But you could bet money was involved somewhere, otherwise it's likly they would have made it multiformat.
That's business.

Microsoft already own part of bungie, and munches oddysee was moved across to the xbox because of its better hardware.

I was actually thinking about this matter this morning, Yes GTA3 would of been excellent on the xbox, and i think rockstar were going to go multiplatform so the game might of come out on the gamecube aswell.
I was thinking about profits and stuff that rockstar could gain if they released the game over all consoles, i'm not sure how much the developer will get out of the profit.
GTA3 on the PS2
Price: £39.99
Number Sold in a week: 100,000
Money: £3999,000
GTA3 on XBOX
Price: £39.99
Number Sold in a week: 100,000
Money: £3999,000
GTA3 on Gamecube
Price: £39.99
Number Sold in a week: 100,000
Money: £3999,000
GTA3 on all platforms (excluding pc)
Games sold in a week: 300,000
Money: £11,997,000
Thats a huge amount of difference, and i beleive the Xbox and Gamecube will beat the PS2 in the near future.
Rockstar have made one of the stupidest moves they could think of. The sales figures are made up btw.
