Hahaha, wow people on this board are amazingly blind, do you really think that GTA 4 will do anything more than a temporary bump in sales, its a game that is split across two consoles purchased by the same gamers who own a 360 and PS3 right now.

Wii not crossing 50% is utterly moronic even now, even with severely restrained supply, Wii is selling more than 50% of the market, you really think that will suddenly stop because of one game?

PS3 and 360 won't even reach 45 Million combined by the end of 2008, Wii will have over 50% of the market

 If PS3 are bumped by even 100k in one week due to GTAIV, it would, imo, be a considerable bump for PS3 in one week, or even one month... infact, 250k is unrealistic, but a HUGE bump... yet in the grand scheme of things, 250k out of the already all-three console base of nearly 50 million between them, .25 out of 50 is nothing overall.

 

Yeah, it could bump heavily, but as you state, temporary bump.  If you sold double time, PS3 would -still- take 2 years to catch up, if not way longer.

I think you're more correct than others give you. 

 

This week's estaimates are already at  almost 60% of the consoles sold for the week - 60% each week is a good way of making an overall 50% at some point.
