I think so.At this point, does Sony even need to do this? Xbox has a foot in the grave and not even a GTA marketing deal would change that for that dying brand.
Whatever kills xbox quickest is best.

I'm not optimistic given how short sighted the current leadership is. No killer instinct.So you're basically saying Sony should leave the back door open for Microsoft to sweep in and land a marketing deal?
You never count someone out until they're actually out. Otherwise that's just hubris that'll bite you in the ass. In any case, a marketing deal with R* for GTA6 is also a good show of force by SIE, to remind folks why they're the market leader in console gaming.
Not always Microsoft had marketing rights for GTA IV and had timed exclusivity for both of it's DLC's
Who cares about marketing rights for a game that’s multi platform If all Sony cares about is 3rd party timed exclusivity deals and marketing rights then it’s going to be grimOver locking down GTA 6 Marketing? Some of you are so out of touch with reality
Sony has been using GTA Marketing rights to sell their consoles since 2001. There is no game Sony can produce that will ever be able to move as many PlayStation consoles as GTA V has sold for them. A Game that propelled the PS3 to topple and break the Xbox 360 NPD streak in September 2013Who cares about marketing rights for a game that’s multi platform If all Sony cares about is 3rd party timed exclusivity deals and marketing rights then it’s going to be grim
They took back marketing in the PS3 era with GTA V actually. Rockstar knows their audience and GTA PS3 sold more than the Xbox 360 version as well.Sony had marketing starting with PS4 generation.
The only value I see in a marketing deal is a huge campaign where you advertise that the PS5 Pro is the definitive platform to play the game. You'd need to throw money at Digital Foundry to do one of their hour long videos and proclaim it to the world .Sony has been using GTA Marketing rights to sell their consoles since 2001.

GTA V was the game they used to sell over 800k PS4 during Xbox One Assassin's Creed black Friday fire sale lol.
GTA V is now selling PS5's and constantly in the top 20 best selling... 11 years after release... Selling PlayStation console for 3 different generations.
No PS exclusive will move more PS5 consoles in release month like GTA 6 will.
Seriously Sony is better off investing that money in a new Jack and Daxter or Killzone
It's not for you to see, it's for the causals who buy the GTA and PlayStation want that audience buying their console to play it.The only value I see in a marketing deal is a huge campaign where you advertise that the PS5 Pro is the definitive platform to play the game.

Lol as soon as the PC version of GTA 6 drops you know Digital Foundry will do a video trashing the PS5 Pro and saying how the PC versions runs and looks betterThe only value I see in a marketing deal is a huge campaign where you advertise that the PS5 Pro is the definitive platform to play the game.
