So how exactly have you found out that all of these 100,000 people were PS2 owners? Yes you can assume that these are all people that bought the game on the PS2, but what about the people that bought the game on Xbox? there were 2 million sales of GTA: SA on the original XB. Can you show me some evidence that the 100,000 360 boost was from those that bought it on the PS2, instead of people who bought it on the Xbox and were waiting for this game before they bought a 360. I suggest you can't prove that, and therefore your whole argument is built on unsubstantiated assumptions that use the incredible success of the PS2 to undermine the successes of the current PS iteration.

I said in my post I extrapololated that number by working out the difference in sales between this week and last week.  I also said that not ALL of those 100,000 people would be PS2 upgraders.  But I WOULD suggest that the REGULAR Xbox 360 numbers (that don't include the 100,000) would already incorporate much of the "Xbox upgrader's."
