I was under the impression from press releases around E3′06 that Grand Theft Auto IV would have a cross-platform launch, on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. A recent press release by Gamerscore blog, run by members of Microsoft Games Global Marketing team, states otherwise.

“Blazing into next year, exclusive titles like the sci-fi RPG “Mass Effect” (Microsoft Game Studios), the creepy, award-winning shooter “BioShock” (2K), and the chilling action-packed “Lost Planet” (Capcom) will be rocking Xbox 360 gamers for months to come. And, let’s not forget that Xbox 360 will be the only console that gamers will be able to experience the next generation version “Grand Theft Auto IV” (Rockstar) and “Halo 3” (Microsoft Game Studios) in 2007.”

Gamerscore Blog: September Xbox Momentum

If Microsoft struck an exclusivity deal with Rockstar Games, Sony could be in trouble. Capcom has already expressed interest in breaking PS3 exclusivity on titles, and Square is looking to be neutral this generation.

What is your take? Ambiguous wording, idiotic interpretation, accidental leak, or a combination?
