I doubt the can pull it off from a tech standpoint, it's gonna be lag and glitch haven with all the crazy open world dynamics and online features.

 

I hope I'm wrong but it's not the first time AAA titles have frame rate issues and the like.

But we have plenty of games that are adopting the model. I'm not saying exclusive to next gen. I meant ported to next gen as well.

Because of currently non-existant install base.

Because they've been working on it for about 5 years and dev kits for the Xbone and PS4 came out earlier this year. And they both don't have any install bases yet, and there is no guarantee that they will make their money back from porting the game.

We might see it later. Seems like if Rockstar wanted to port the game to next-gen, they'd take their time on it.

Maybe we'll see it when the PC version comes out.

So they can make more money by selling it to you twice. Once right now for current gen consoles and then again next year when they inevitably release the "Game of the Year" edition for the next gen consoles.

The game's budget is estimated at $137M. They'd need to sell a copy to every single next-gen buyer, and keep every cent of the purchase price, just to break even.

Eh. Probably come later. Why rush?

Plus they already have far better games available early in their launch. Like the Kinect v2 sports game, and Knack.

Because they can sell more on two consoles that are a combined 155 million than they can with 2 million.

They probably have another GTA in the works for next gen, but GTA V will be fine on current gen consoles.

simply, the userbase, there's a lot more X360s and PS3s, plus the game is set to release in September, the X1 and PS4 won't even be out yet then they can always milk it on a next gen console later, make people buy it again to experience it on a better system

Actually more sales considering how much PS4 will be selling. :) It would probably boost sales in the millions if the was a launch title.

Everyone who will buy an XBO or PS4 has either a 360 or a PS3.  

 

So...this.

Because they started working on it years ago.

Because more people own a PS3/Xbox360 than a PS4/XboxOne for the close future.
