Well, back to topic. I'll only believe this when it comes from a more reliable source. But I don't think either would dramatically boost sales for the GC/Xbox, unless they were dramatically improved, though even that's in question. But they would probably sell a lot though.

I thought GTA 3 was a good game, but got tired with it pretty quickly. Same happened with VC, but a lot quicker. It'll be good to see the other two consoles getting these games, though it's a little too late.

Anyway, I thought Sony's exclusive deal was going to expire at the end of 2004, or sometime in 2005?

As far as it not being believeable, it's VERY believeable. Unless sony gives them an absolute assload of money, there's nothing that's going to stop them from porting these games.

Don't expect them to look any better though...

Completly agree. Those games will be sucked dry by then.

Just wait and see this game will bomb on GCN... I mean completely bomb.. and get pathetic sales on the X-Box.

I think it will sell pretty good if they released it on GCN and Xbox... not amazing... but pretty good.

meh, I think there's a WAY better chance of it bombing on GCN, because of it... demogrp... nevermind. We'll see. But if it does to bad on GCN that could be one of the biggest blows to Nintendo trying to get a mature image ever.

I disagree... if anything is going to give Nintendo a mature image it's their console look. If Hitman 2 bomded on GCN... it's image change in ANY way??

The only people who have a problem with mature and cool looks are the ones who age from 12-16 years old. People who are 18 and above are confident enough in their manly hood that buying a purple console with the games they like won't change anything.

GTA... How on earth is it going to change ANYTHING if the console is purple, and looks like a fischer prize toy??

Exclamation

On that note, BloodRayne and Soul Reaver 2 have sold a tad bit better on GCN than Xbox so far; so I wouldn't think the "demographic" is that bad at all.

Then there's the fact that two of the best-selling games on the console are Resident Evil titles...I don't think Xbox has another million-selling M-rated game other than Halo. So that is good also.

I mean hell, Indigo GCN's are damn-near phased out in most retail outlets (in my area and the states around it, anyways), plus the thing comes in PLATINUM (great GBA SP combo), Orange (spice) and Green (dev kit). Chances are the GCN you buy today will be black or platinum, and I know for a fact that this is NOA's intention (either that, or indigo GCN's are too expensive to manufacture for some reason)....

But GTA on GCN WILL BOMB. The game has, (as listed above) been literally sucked dry, and everyone who's a gamer has already played the damn thing in some form or another (PC or PS2) by this "supposed" 2004 "release".

Like The Game said- there better be some RADICAL changes if they expect this thing to sell...

Mafia for GCN, on the other hand....
