Ok ... let's settle this - I'll bet anyone use of my sig for theirs that if GTA IV launches as scheduled (March-April 2008), by Fall 2008, the 360 version will be outselling the PS3 version by 2 to 1.

Any takers?
Pretty weak bet from 360fanboy. The biggest market for GTA is US there 360 is leading with 3 vs 1 when GTA releases it will probably be 4 vs 1. Or are you one of them that think PS3 will take over 360 sales in EU march 2008?

 


Unfortunately, as much as you would *like* to call me a 360 fanboy, I am not. I see the 360 as a good gaming machine but not great. I see the good points the 360 offers, but I also see the negatives as well. I am not blinded by any system - and that includes the PS3.

To be clear, your accusation is a moot point.

If folks are so sure GTA IV will sell so well on the PS3, then why not take my bet? Plain and simple.

I don't hate the PS3 - but I see more negatives right now than positives.

Tyrone I will take that bet, but I hope not the game gets delayed anymore. The 360 version will not sell twice as much as the Ps3.

The number off xbots and wiitards on this site is really exciting!


I think its obvious that GTA will sell more on ps3 WW even in its first week. I kinda doubt that more than 20% of the ps2 GTA userbase will switch to 360.

IN US it will be tight but in EU, PS3 version will outsell 360 like 2:1 or more.

But why are nintendo fans so pissed at this news? Getting nervous?

Even though I like positive ps3 news I don't look into Amazon sales too much as they represent only a tiny fraction of overall sales. I think as long as GTA IV on the ps3 doesn't get outsold by more than 2:1 in America than it is a success. In Europe the sales should be fairly even.

This game will be just one of the reasons PS3 will be the top selling CE of 2008. Warner will go Blu-ray exclusive around CES, making Blu-ray the winner of the format war. Then the game flood gates will open with GTA, Home, Killzone, MGS4, GT5, and countless others. When we hit GTA launch period I expect 349.99 PS3, and a 299.99 pro 360. With thouse prices + Blu-ray = DVD successor + Major PS3 exclusives + what PSN will have become = Sony returning to the top of the home console charts with only one system (because the PS2 + PS3 far outdoes the Wii worldwide at the moment).

So PS3 domination has been rescheduled for April 2008? Let me check my diary, make sure I'm available...


Okay, I know you are joking. Seriously though, I really wish people stop saying that. He didn't say ANYTHING about PS3 domination or anything of that sort. Your putting words into his mouth.

When people stop predicting PS3 domination that doesn't happen, I'll stop making fun of it. So what if he didn't exactly say "domination", he said that PS3 will be the leading console worldwide after GTAIV, and also said that the "flood gates will open".  I would call that something "of the sort".

I don't understand why people have to feel validated in their console choice by saying that it will sell the most. PS3 is not going to outsell the Wii, but I'm sure there will be enough good games on it that you'll be happy with your purchase. No need to continue to predict domination when it will never happen.
