PS3 will be around 30 million consoles sold worldwide by June 2009.

I read some ones post that GTA will hit 25 million sold due to DLC – the moment I read that I took a dull spoon and cut off my legs from the thigh to numb the retardation.

The user base for Both PS3 and Xbox360 would have to be over 200 million in order to get that kind of tie in.

The only game in history to get that with just 70 million user base was Super Mario Bros.
Right now new super Mario bros is doing the same thing on the DS.

GTA is officially the Internet flag of video games, but don’t fool yourself that isn’t the case anywhere else. Only 9% of people who play games even browse the gaming forums even less do it vigorously even less want GTA.

By next week we will see the legs it has, if it drops off WW to about 600k then guess what, for the next week it’s going to 300k then find its usual at 70k until four months from now it will be around 40k – which is still awesome, but after Christmas for 2008 it’s going to be in the 20k area. I’m talking weekly and World Wide.

My guess is it will sell more copies than Brawl by 2010 but less than Mario Kart, if their trends continues, and seeing as how I’ve played both, my subjective reasoning is MK will, my objective reasoning tells me theirs no reason why MK shouldn’t.

Considering the Wii’s user base is re including SNES, NES, GC and N64 user bases and that Mario Kart existed for each platform (not including hand helds) and currently the Wii is selling as fast as any given 2 of those systems combined, I think it’s safe to assume you should see a 45% increase in it’s life times sale when compared to it’s GC incarnation, and that’s being conservative.

I mean it’s common sense; the less people own a system the less people who are interested in that game, much, much less are the people who purchase that system to buy the game – regardless of if it’s Brawl or GTAIV or CoDIV.

These people just keep comparing the games sales like it’s some 1 legged dog race.

The that should be brought up which I’m sure it had in with other content is, Would X game had done as good on platform Y?

Because if Brawl was multiplatform and was on Wii would it have sold 1.8 mil us on Wii and 1.5 mil on PS3 in America? Would it have sold 800k on Wii and 600k on PS3 in Japan?

That’s already 2 regions where it’s expected to sell and the third is just around the corner, that’s the question I believe should be clarified first before threads like this are made.
