As Parokki said, the PS2 sold GTA more than the other way around. We will see blips of a few 100k for each console in the week of release of GTA. GTA Sales on 360 will be more front-loaded and sales on PS3 will have longer legs.
Mid-term, the title could help PS3 more
- because Playstation may still be seen the home of GTA for most consumers
- and because the PS3 library is more lacking so that one game can make more of an impact then on the 360.
On the other hand, Microsoft may indeed be prepared to spend $100 million to get the word out to former PS2 owners that the 360 is the new home for GTA, what with the extra content. Overall, it's mostly an American topic and won't affect Europe that much.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
