The reason GTA4 didn't sell as well as past GTA's was because it was on both 360 and PS3. If it had been only on PS3 it would have sold comparably to past GTA games because if you add up the total for 360 and PS3 it is close to past GTA sales. How many T and M rated games have sold over 250,000 copies on Wii in Japan and how many T and M rated games have sold over 250,000 copies on PS3 in Japan?


lol, that's ridiculous. The sales gained from the 360 version wouldn't have suddenly went to the PS3 because not every 360 owner owns a PS3. GTA4 wouldn't have sold as much as the older games if it were exclusive; the PS3 didn't have that kind of userbase to make the game sell that much.

As for the T/M thing I'll let jarrod handle that because I don't feel like going through release lists...


If GTA 4 had been an exclusive it would have increased the usebase of whichever console it was on so that it would have had a userbase that would have allowed it to sell comparably to past versions just like it did last gen on the PS2.
