In an article
over on TheStreet.com today, Take Two CEO, Paul Eibeler, was quoted as
saying that the company may not make the Grand Theft Auto series a Sony
exclusive for the next generation, taking a wait and see attitude as the
console manufacturers begin to maneuver for dominance with the Xbox 360,
PS3, and so forth.
Quote:
Q: You and Sony have had an exclusive arrangement with the Grand Theft Auto titles. Are we going to see a similar arrangement on the next generation of consoles?
When we announced that -- back [on] Grand Theft Auto 3 -- Sony was a big, big factor in the business and was a great partner of ours. We have [since] brought that brand to the Xbox and the PC market. It's just a wait-and-see attitude that we take to the market. [We] study the market and see [whether] that exclusive nature is good for the company at that time or if it's something that we might not want to do.
