Europe/others.
In Japan, the PS3 has had the advantage of being $450 (ish), been out since November, and had a few major J-titles, yet is being beat rather handily by the more expensive, and more recent European launch. PS3 launched w/ 400-500k first week there, and has done 20k+ every week. PS3 launched w/ ~100k in Japan, and hasn't even hit the million mark.
Therefore, trends show that in Europe/others, PS3 should beat its counterpart in the land of the rising sun by 1.5:1 or even 2:1 if GTAIV does well in Europe on PS3.
X360 has Lost Odyssey for Japan, and imo, that could steal some major thunder from Sony if it was a first-strike vs. MGS4.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
