Holy fuck noobie, you are really starting to piss me off. Anything that happens, you turn it against the PS3.

Don't make me bring up all the ridiculous threads you have created in the past, as I have to do in every one of your waste of time threads.

All the numbers havent even come in how can you be making opinions?

The attach rate for PS3 is higher than 360, so its a win there.

And no, the PS3 has not been out over 2 years.

and 80% of sales apper to come from US+UK alone...2 strong x360 markets: in the long term i can't see this as a good sign for ps3.

Well that tells you something doesnt it? The PS3 managed to sell more than its share in two markets dominated by the 360.

(PS3 also received a larger hardware boost)

While this is marginally better for MS, a game selling 1m on its first week for your console is hardly a bad thing.

Not to mention PS3 had a much better hardware bump and that outwieghs the 60/40 approximate software split between MS/Sony respectively.

are you serouisly thinking that in US or UK PS3 version will have greater legs than x360's? it's like 13,7M vs 5,9M userbase...

of course these markets couldn't possibly have sold more software and hardware because of the consoles different release dates

are you seriously thinking 360 will have better legs? You do know the ps3 sells better than the 360 week in and week out. the people who already bought the game most likly had the system before. Now the game is being sold to new console purchasers.

How you turn the ps3 most successful game into a failure is genius.
I award you fanboy of the week, congrats.

are you referring to those 70k that clearly bought PS3 for GTAIV in its first week of release? ...hmmm...next week they will be half of that...and so on...not a true factor when you compare this number with 2,3M or 1.3M copies sold in just a week...you have to try harder :)
