Darth, of course they do. But the problem is that MikeB and others just naturally assume that the PS3 version is going to somehow sell like what DMC4 just did........And totally throw out the natural inclination of the userbase.
It's like saying that First Person shooters don't sell well on the X360 - the hardcore userbase of the X360 is more than likely made up (to some ratio) of Xbox owners that were FPS-heavy gamers....Thus why FPS games tend to do above-average on the X360. What kind of users play on the PS3? It seems that no one is willing to ask, or answer that question: but it seems that people that were hardcore PS2 owners are currently the ones inside that 4.2m US userbase currently....
But then, when we talk GTA, we're not talking about a game that plays to the X360's userbase's weakness unlike DMC4 - the X360's userbase is very 'ripe' to buy and play a day-and-date GTA game with exclusive content - moreso than the PS3 userbase. Go look at the numbers: sandbox games on the 360 have done rather well, despite not being the greatest (Crackdown, Saints Row).
Outlawuron - VGC is about 8k off when it comes to US NPD data vs. VGC data alone. Canada should add about 8% to that number, making VGC off by around 25,000 units. Not alot to call foul, but considering VGC overtracked Blue Dragon's first week by about 40,000 units.......It's a good thing :)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
