I have never play to any GTA game,
I m not a GTA fan,
But, this franchise is simply the best seller franchise on PS2 ! and compared to other FF/MGS, the sales of the last episode, San Andreas, were biger than the previous episode.
I dont know if the game will sell better on Xbo360 or PS3 because the user base are different so, ofc, we should expect more sales on the Xbox360 (it is why comparing sales numbers on 2 different hardware is not relevant).
In fact, we should talk about "relative sales" that take in count the hardware users base (for example : software X sales / users base numbers).
I think, in NA the 2 game version (Xbox/PS) will sell very well but since Xbox360 is cheapier and possess exclusive content, the Xbox360 version will sell, relatively, better.
In Europe, It's a complete different story.
People are waiting for price cut to buy PS3 (is price cut suppose to appear in europe too ?)and expect some good sequel. And the more expected sequel are GTA4 ! and PES 2008 ! (very very popular)
I expect these 2 games to be system sellers and to significatively improve the PS3 sales.
The Xbox360 sales will improve too but, really less than PS3 sales cause people simply dont care a lot about Xbox360 except in UK. And people like to play with the PS2 paddle.
Finally, even if the PS3 sales increase, 500 euros will still be too expensive to allow PS3 to compete with Wii. And PES2008 is going to Wii too.
Wait and See.
Time to Work !
