GTA is a bigger game and has casual appeal, so I think it will move more PS3's though. I think MGS4 is a very important rallying point for PS3 owners though, since it may very well be THE definitive game of the year.

 

It is bigger game because it has casual appeal. But why would those casuals buy PS3 for GTA4? It's on 360 too and Arcade is the cheapest SKU it's available to. You could mention the lack of HDD, but if you're a casual offline gamer, you don't need the HDD.

 Wait though, if you are a casual person who just wants to play GTAIV, wouldn't you want the model with HDD to get the downloadable content?  I mean you went out of your way to buy a 360 just for GTAIV, seems odd that you only want for the one game and not get all the available content for...  Or worst yet, the buy the cheap Arcade 360 and get the game and then later find out to get the DLC you need at least a $100 hard drive for it.
