Whenever I read the comments on Gamespot, usually between the end of May and August, when everyone is out of school, I like to play a never-ending sound bite of ten thousand chimps screaming and shitting all over the place. It's all I hear in my head when I read this stuff.
@JustArtificial Firstly, some individuals are far from considering any next-generation purchases since we're still a little less than a half-year off from making another $400 purchase, not including the games themselves. Second, the PC and 360 version required an internet connection, and for 360 owners, an Xbox LIVE Gold account (another $60/year) to purchase. I know this may be an alien concept to some people, but there are still a great bit of gamers in the world without stable internet or none at all. The disc-version is like a god-send to them.
P.S - On a more personal note, the fact that you used the term "superior PC version" says a whole lot about your integrity as a gamer.
If some you (not all) would read and listen to the numerous recent interviews conducted with Houser, you'd know exactly why Rockstar does what they do. The game will NOT just be for our next-gen systems, that much is clear, and to even try to speculate otherwise is plain asinine.
However, what I could see happening is the game being released in September for the PS3 & 360 and possibly PORTING that title over to the new consoles after they've released, making it a launch title. Rockstar's RAGE team have had their new engine in development for quite some time, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see that.
