MS: 360 version of GTA4 outselling PS3 version 2-1

[Magnific0]

I don't know what you all think, and please amuse me with your comments about this :


Correct me If I'm wrong but the whole year it's all been GTA4 for Microsoft. It's the title that would pop up in every article, every interview, all around, everywhere. When they had shortages : "don't worry, we'll sort this out by the time GTA4 arrives", and you could just google up many instances were MS PR and other executives would repetitively mention GTA4 time and time again. Then there's also the 50 million paid for the exhaustively-talked exclusive episodic content. GTA4 : Microsoft's messiah. It is, without doubt, what they've led us to believe.

So now to my point. It's more than clear to me that Microsoft is expecting a lot more than "gaining more XBL Gold members" with GTA4.

If they don't, at least :

1- OBLITERATE the competition (meaning at least 3:1 over PS3 version in NA and over 2:1 WW) after putting so much money and effort over GTA4, and more importantly,

2- GAIN A SUSTAINED MOMENTUM on hardware sales in USA (outsell pricey PS3, convincingly).

If they can't do that with their cheaper system, and all their eggs put into the GTA4 basket since months ago, girls and fanboys you'll all excuse me but "padding themselves on the back" just won't cut it this time if all they can manage is "stay in the fight". If they don't get overwhelming results MS executives might as well start lining up to jump from top floor.

It's either GTA4 domination for MS or FAILURE.
