| Michael-5 said: Not really....GTA IV has huge bumps in sales during the holidays where GT5 has a steady influx of sales. This just shows you how different the PS3 market is from the US market. This could lead to very, very different results down the road. Besides the PS3 version is only 500k lower. It's a better fit, and like you said the PS3 version did better late life, maybe GT5 will follow that same pattern instead of the 360 pattern. |
Regardless of their different markets, their total sales for two years now have always managed to counter each other and balance out. Looking at current data, there's nothing to suggest that the trend will change. Current data is all we have; assertions on the future are uncertain. Moreover, the same thing you're saying for the 360 version can be said for the ps3 version. The patterns show that the 360 version is the best candidate for comparing total sales.
Again, the PS3 version has not sold as similarly as the 360 version. When GT5 starts to look like it's selling closer to the PS3 version, then I'll change it. As of now, the PS3 version. Furthermore, GT5 is tracking at 1m higher than the PS3 version of GTAIV (not 500k). The similarities between the PS3 version and GTA5 are not strong.
