I was wondering how piracy would effect GTA4 sales on both 360 and PS3. As we all know (or else know now!) the only system currently hacked is the 360 with hacks so effective they can't even be noticed when logging into Live. I am not going to point you towards the means to do so, so use google yourself if you don't believe me. You'll find out my statements are true and if you still believe the `people got banned till 9999 story` you are simply being naive or greatly misinformed.
Anyway, I looked at download statistics on a little private torrent site which name will only be revealed in PM if you are that interested. The game I looked at was Tom Clancys Rainbow six Vegas 2 and the numbers are,
PS3 global version, 17 times
360 US version, 1252 times
360 PAL version 4162 times (both 360 versions appear to be regionfree)
Like I mentioned, this info has been pulled from a small tracker and only serves as an indication. Sites like the piratebay for example have way higher numbers. I chose a private tracker to not have to deal with the huge number of people that may or may not have used multiple sources to download and give an incorrect number.
Posted this in sales because piracy affects sales.
