Sales - GTA4 piracy numbers. - View Post

The reason why the PS3 number is so low is because not many people will have the physical means to burn to a Blu-Ray disc.

and even if they did have the means to burn it onto a bluray disc, it still wont be playable as the ps3 does not play backup copies.  honestly, i wonder why they even bothered to download the ps3 version. though they could be piling up a collection in anticipation of any exploit that may be found in the near future.

 at OT: piracy would affect sales but not to a large extent. if the game cant be pirated, only a handfull would still buy the original and the majority wouldnt bother. 

 where i live, pircay is very rampant, anywhere you go you'd see vendors selling backup copies from ps1 to x360 games, even wii games are also available. and the consolde of choice is the one that has the most amount of pirated games available. which is at first, for next gen (or this gen), was the x360. but due to the "rrod" the system of choice here now is the psp and the ps2 (still). and only ture gaming enthusiasts and the quite rich are buying the ps3. go figure.
