I love the people quoting Pachters estimate like its fact..

And yes it's poor. They were hyping these expansions to be as big as GTA:VC... yet it'll get a fraction of its sales.

What are you talking about? I saw VC ads running for months, the only ads I saw for this lasted about two weeks.

"It will be bigger than a lot of people think.  GTA3 Vice City and San Andreas were basically expansions of GTA3.  Think of the DLC that way.  We are talking major expansion for GTAIV"

The Lost and Damned broke day one sales records on Xbox Live, and according to analyst Michael Pachter, it will have been downloaded 2 million times from Xbox Live by the end of the year

and remember... when he said that he also said GTA5 would launch in 2010... I dont think thats happening.
