| URNotE said: i think the sales of DMC4 can give us a little insight as to how GTAIV is gonna sell between ps3 and 360.... looking at those numbers i dont think the 360 version is gonna obliterate the ps3 version as many predict... |
Obliterate? I dunno about that. I don't think it will be at all similar to the DMC4 ratio, however. I expect GTA IV to track very similarly to Assassin's Creed (in ratios - GTA will obviously sell more copies).
Assassin's Creed figures: Worldwide, the 360 leads at a 1.5:1 ratio at 3.51 million to 2. 34 million.
However, the ratio is higher in America, where the 360 leads at a 2.4:1 ratio at 2.3 million to .96 million. The ratio for GTA IV might be better than that by a slight margin because GTA is still thought of by many as a Playstation brand.
GTA will sell better on the 360 in America and better on the PS3 in Europe and the larger install base in America will lead to higher overall sales for the 360 version with the PS3 version still posting very respectable numbers.
