But by Xmas, the exclusive downloadable content will be released, which will cause a boost to the Xbox version. I think that is far more significant than the Japanese release.

There is no reason DLC will sell more systems/copies. The DLC is now targeting owners of the game. The DLC was the 360's selling point. The game sold to people who already had the systems. Now it comes down to new console owners and what they pick up with their purchase... Ps3 is winning week in and week out. Also when it is released in Japan I can see the Ps3 version outselling the 360 version by 200k (Yes it is nothing in terms of the big picture but it is still a nice number.)

Take those Sony googles off. You're dreaming if you think DLC won't cause a boost. You need to seperate what you want to occur from what is more likely to transpire in reality. If MS have any sense, they will exploit this advantage. You said yourself that DLC was the 360's selling point, yet ironically, MS hasn't really advertised DLC at all. It follows then, that they will prepare a huge marketing push to take advantage of the launch/Xmas period.

Seriously though, why on earth wouldn't they? I think you underestimate this series. It's GTA for goodness sake. It's almost guaranteed to sell extra copies purely because it's another addition to the franchise. As I stated in my earlier post, this is more significant than its release in a territory in which it always underperforms. On the contrary, NA and Others will go bonkers for anything GTA related, DLC included.

Yet again, people who wanted the game now have the game. The DLC is now focusing on these people.

And Ps3 sells more than the 360 on a weekly basis giving it more leg potential.

I don't see extra sales because of the map pack for CoD4, or the side missions for folklore.
