I think the big question is: after the launch of GTAIV, will consumer interest in the PS3/X360 change in the West?

Right now the only real bastion of competion is in the US and Europe, and the Wii is winning handily.

However, GTAIV is one of the definitive games of this generation, supposedly, and as we saw with H3, it brought in a king's ransom of new X360 owners, and made the X360 rather viable during Christmas (certainly not perfect, but it still was Microsoft's best Christmas ever).

I think what will be telling is if, in May, the 360 and PS3, combined can equal *about* 120-130% of the Wii's sales in May. Ultimately, 1 week can't tell a whole war, but 1 month can tell us a bit. If the X360 and PS3 can average around 200k/wk for May (each), and the Wii stays around 350k/wk, this might be somewhat advantageous for the HD consoles. But we'll have to see.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
