After netting a cool $50 million from Microsoft for the GTA IV exclusives, the geniuses at Rockstar are at it again, this time, with Sony Computer Entertainment. With many a PS3 owner hopping mad over the Xbox 360 exclusivity of the GTA IV DLC “episodes”, Rockstar has announced that it will be developing an exclusive, all-new franchise for the shiny black console with the Spiderman font. Michael Shorrock, Director of Third Party Applications at SCEA, has said:

As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we’ve agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios.

Nice, get money from MS for developing exclusive episodes and get some some truckloads of money for developing a new exclusive franchise for Sony. Wonder how much money Sony shoved into R*’s G-string for this one. If it’s anything like what MS paid, it’s enough to have the clever bastards at Rockstar chuckling over how they have effectively managed to double team the bigwigs.
