In the UK most retailers stopped taking pre-orders for 360 and PS3 versions since 9 April (except Amazon.co.uk), citing unprecedented demand.

Amazon.co.uk stopped taking pre-orders for a while as well, this after the PS3 version topping their bestseller chart for quite long a long time. I think the now known about PS3/GTA IV bundle will sell extremely well.

I think in the end the PS3 version will significantly outsell the 360 version globally. MGS4 will built up additional momentum while we move towards christmas.


Yes so everyone buys from Amazon.co.uk? No one buys from play.com, game.co.uk, hmv.co.uk, shopto.net etc. etc. who have all sold out on their intial allocation of both versions.

Plus, read TheSource' recent article, GTA4 current pre-order data for NA stands at 1.8:1 for 360:PS3, and we know this is GTA4's main market, with the most legs.

The only hope PS3 has is obviously in Europe, and this has to make up 1m first week to catch up with the 360 NA lead. So in the end, the most the PS3 can do is equal sales. Bundle or no bundle (by the way play.com has a GTA4 and 360 for £199), this is no where near what you said - a significant lead worldwide.
