Dave Jones, the creator of Grand Theft Auto, has laid his cards on the table and has suggested that his future game development work may well lie with the Xbox 360. Jones is currently working on the Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown, but has been heavily involved in developing games for Sony's PS One and PS2 for a number of years.

In an inteview with Edge Magazine, Jones said, “I seriously question Sony’s policy of leaving it down to publishers to come up with their own standards for each [online] game. I completely disagree with it. I’m not going to put my credit card details with five different companies for some bits of downloadable content. Sony is a huge force, and definitely has been with the PS2 – but now I see it being, at worst, a 50/50 race, but as time goes on I lean more and more towards Microsoft."

In the full interview, which can be read in the latest issue of Edge, Jones also reveals his feelings on the Grand Theft Auto series and the decline in quality with GTA: San Andreas. Whilst he praises Vice City he feels that GTA : San Andreas was 'too dark and story-driven.'
