Rockstar Games spokesman Hosi Simon says that to get the ‘complete’ GTA IV experience, consumers would have to play on the Xbox 360.
“They’re identical games. We’re not hardware makers, and we’re not like a pawn between these companies, we try not to be as much as we can. We make great games for people to enjoy on whichever system they want. But I guess if you want the complete experience with the episodes, then yeah, you should buy the 360, I suppose.” Simon said.
Simon is referencing the two episodic expansions for GTA IV that will be exclusive to Microsoft’s version of the game, the first of which is due in early 2008.
Since both versions of the game are reportedly identical, the episodic content and Simon’s endorsement of the 360 version can come as a blow for Sony, considering the anticipated high sales figures for a massive title like GTA IV.
