I'm genuinely curious, if Rockstar really have managed to pull that off on the PS3 then I doff my cap to them.
On paper the PS3 is a stunningly powerful machine in the hands of a team talented enough to exploit the complicated architecture (Naughty Dog have certainly given a strong indication of what it's capable of), it's just been lumbered with shitty 360 ports for much of its life.
It reminds me a bit of the Saturn and the original Playstation, once Sega's in-house devs properly got their heads around the Saturn's architecture (dual-RISC CPUs!) and truly unlocked its potential, it played host to some stunning games and amazing technical achievements, just far too late in the day to save the console itself. (Except this time round Sony have got the complex architecture that needs hard work to get the most out of with the PS3, and MS have got the straightforward chuck raw horsepower at it approach with the 360.)
If that really is GTAV on the PS3, then in combination with being able to easily amass a full Pinball Arcade collection and the super-cheapness of the PS3 Slim - I could be seriously tempted to become a very late adopter of a PS3. (The PS4 is already a shoe-in for next-gen, of course.)
