UPDATE - Don Mattrick says Microsoft’s bagged more than just exclusive downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV.
"GTA IV is an amazing piece of software and I'm really excited with its downloadable content and online multiplayer support. Again, that's something that's unique to 360,” Microsoft's senior VP of Interactive Entertainment, Mattrick, told Major Nelson during a recent podcast.
"We think consumers are going to love that and it's going to create, what I would describe again as the premium experience on our platform."
While it was previously announced that downloadable content exclusive to Xbox 360 would follow GTA IV's April release, there has been no previous mention of any multiplayer mode platform exclusivity. We've contacted Rockstar for clarification on the matter.
Additionally, Mattrick said in the podcast that Microsoft was working hard to address Xbox 360 hardware shortage issues that cropped up over the holiday season.
"We'd hoped to have a strong showing in North America this holiday season, and we had a stronger showing than anticipated. We had some shortages, we weren't able to deliver enough hardware against demand that was in the market.
"That's a great problem to have, we're addressing that in the coming year. It's going to take a little bit of time for us to amp up our manufacturing but we're really encouraged that people purchased as many games and as many boxes as they did on our platform and we think that bodes well for the future."
