How many of those buyers had the scales tipped to the 360 side knowing it was coming? Tons of people (expecting it to be better) bought the 360 version considering it the 'definitive' version with the new content coming. What if the new DLC caused 750k, or a million(or more) people to buy this version instead of the PS3? That all goes toward making the investment a worthwhile one. |
I guess you saw the 5.4 million number for the PS3 version. The PS3's attach rate is 27% and the 360's is 24%. It may have pushed a couple of extra sales to the 360, but you would expect the difference to be much greater since there are about 8 million more 360's.
What would you rather have GTA4 with AAA DLC, or GTA4 with a AAA game (Killzone 2)?
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
