^ Your best counter point you could have made for C. was it was released in Nov for christmas. (Which still doesnt excuse more sales in half the time on one console)

You just dont know your games.

B. No I said GTA was the biggest hyped game of the year (Remember you are the one who brought LBP in this convo)

A. LBP was never suppose to outsell ANY GTA4's... well maybe PC's

 

Nah. The key point here I wanted to remark on is that successive DLC packs will keep bolstering GTA4 sales and at the end it won't be that far from GTA:SA. If I really wanted to kill ya I'd just have mentioned the userbase, the ps2 was around 70 million when GTA:SA launched while both the ps3 and the 360 together barely scrapped 40 million for GTA4. GTA:SA enjoyed extraordinary legs on a platform that eventually was over 120 million when the next installment landed.

I brought LBP into this because the double standard displayed by some when considering GTA4's sales (dead lulz) vs. a game which is selling at a similar pace but which legs are regularly called "great" around here.

AKA if LBP selling 100k/week a month after launch is "great" I don't see why GTA4 is "dead" when it is selling the same 100k/week 8 months after it was released.

 

So let me get this straight.... You wanted to make a point the DLC will be successful by saying it is selling 100k a week on both platforms when one of those platforms wont get the DLC you are talking about but you threw in LBP because of your point about 100k weekly would make successful DLC and the game is selling just as well.... Really just sounds like you were trying to take a JAB at lbp to me.

You do realize to get to GTA4's expected sales while selling at 100k a week the game would need to sell for 100more weeks. Yes this game was expected to sell more than 20mil because it was multiplatform which was suppose to give it a bigger install base and it was suppose to be THE BEST GTA EVAR!
