It should come as no surprise that the impending Grand Theft Auto IV is going to have a marketing campaign that rivals the absolute onslaught that accompanied Halo 3’s launch last year. What may surprise you, though, is that much of that marketing push will be coming from Microsoft, not publisher Take-Two or developer Rockstar.
“Rockstar will naturally be doing their own campaign to launch what obviously will be a massive title for them,” Xbox UK Gaming and Entertainment Chief Stephen McGill told MCV, “but Microsoft sees GTA IV as a fantastic title to showcase how great Xbox 360 is.” As such, McGill says Microsoft will be launching a campaign with “the same sort of scale as our Halo 3 campaign last year” to promote the Xbox 360 version’s Live integration, Achievements and, of course, exclusive downloadable content. Judging by our recent poll on the subject, it doesn’t look like it will take much convincing to get people thinking that the Xbox 360 is the system of choice for the optimal GTA IV experience.
