Oh right because there aren’t pirated console games online…..

Microsoft officially announced a “strategic alliance” with Rockstar Games over the rights to episodic content through their Xbox Live service at their X06 event. This content was released as Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned
on 17 February 2009, and it was available for download, exclusively for
the Xbox 360. This was because of the substantial $50 million that
Microsoft paid Rockstar to keep it exclusive. The strategic alliance was
however timed and both DLC episodes and the compilation pack were
released on 13 April 2010 on PS3 and PC.[25]
The expansion adds some new elements to the existing game and focuses
on Johnny Klebitz, the vice president of “The Lost” motorcycle club.

They aren’t losing them. Those sales will happen whether it releases tomorrow or 5 months from now. People will wait. History has proven that. They waited for gta3, 4, vice city, San Andreas and the 2 dlc packs for gta4. They will wait for 5 and their reward will be the most badass version of GTA around. While they wait for the PC or next gen version a lot of them will buy the current version to tide them over.

Don’t think like a gamer. Think like a sales man.

Theyre losing more “potential sales” by not selling it on PC, Xbox One, and PS4

Not even close. Both consoles feature a similar APU, and they both have 8 gigs of RAM. The additional compute units on the PS4 do not yield the same benefit per compute unit as the initial ones. XOne’s RAM has more bandwidth potential, as well as lower latency, but the PS4 is easier to code for. The two consoles are about even, in terms of hardware. This has already been figured out a long time ago, but it’s incredible how much the PS4 hardware superiority is falsely perpetuated on the internet. People for a long time believed the PS3 was more powerful than the 360, and many still do. Sony seems to thrive on false information.

“Learnt” is a valid word in British English.
