Doubt it to be honest. But I think they will be closer this time in sales.


Closer?
They are only 500k apart and that was from a time when
a) the 360 had still a massive lead
b) the PS3 was expensive as hell and no one could have afford it
c) Microsoft had Exclusive Deals and had a marketing where people could think its a 360 exclusive

The PS3 version will outsell the 360 version and that with a bigger gap than 500k at the end.
Europe will push it over.

Well considering the ps3 version of GTA IV outsold the 360 version by 13k this year and after this week's sales will actually most likely be below the 360 version for the year, there is absolutely no chance the ps3 version of GTA IV will catch up to the 360 version.

And that 360 exclusive comment is ridiculous. If anything most people probably thought the ps3 version would be the one getting all the extra features considering rockstar's relationship with sony during the previous generation.

The simple fact that the 360 version of GTA IV is ahead of the ps3 version is crazy. It would be comparable to Nintendo getting a Halo game ported on the wii that manages to outsell the 360 version. 95% of the GTA fanbase was playing on the playstation 2 and it still managed to sell better on the 360.

As for GTA V, I think it will depend on who gets exclusive content. Assassin's Creed III showed us that "exclusive content" can actually skew games towards a specific console. Especially considering how many people probably own both consoles already.
