What is this, like the 5th one of these in the past month?!?
Let's consider the facts because instinct (Yours, anyway) is not something I'd let my money ride.
1) Rockstar is VERY aware of the question of whether there is a next gen version. Were something like that to be a reality, it would be announced or denied BEFORE the release. You know why? Money. If people are seriously holding out a for a next gen version and Rockstar doesn't make it, that will kill launch day, week 1 and first month performance figures as well as the game's profit margin. You give your product the best chance to succeed, which brings us to...
2) There more likely than not is not a next gen version and there probably won't be in a period of time soon enough to justify waiting for it instead of getting the current gen. You know why? Because the game releases in September. That is two months before the start of the next gen. Are you really going to let millions of potential customers as well as the possibility of recapturing all of the sales records just slip away? No, you're not. If there is a next gen version coming, you won't even hear a peep about it until April if you hear anything at all.
If you're going to think about it from a business perspective.
A next gen version would harm the game's commercial performance if it is mentioned or released this year, which is why I'm almost 100% certain that if one is to exist, you will not hear a word about it until sometime well into next year.
Just get the current gen version and deal with a next gen version when one decides to exist.
Please, no more of these threads...
EDIT: Kind of contradicted myself. Basically, they'll either squash all hope before launch entirely or they will give some vague comment, encourage the purchase of the current version and let us in on the secret some time next year.
Given the stakes, I'm sure they will completely deny a next gen version in the next couple of months just to boost the current gen sales...
