I am dying to see the numbers for this week, what are the numbers like? will they stay high? which version will take the biggest fall? will Mario Kart have better legs? Let's predict!! GTAIV 360 : 1.3 MILLION IN NA, 400K IN OTHERS PS3: 800K IN NA, 700K IN OTHERS MARIO KART : 345K IN NA

PS3 version will have slightly better legs, because X360 owners are more hard-core and tend to buy the games during the first day/week at a higher rate.

 How do you know that?

The PS3 version will have better legs, simply because it will end up having a much larger userbase in Europe by the end of the year. The series has pretty much a 50/50 America/Europe split, with Europe actually seeing more sales sometimes.

Not only that, but the attach rate and hardware sales show that a lot of people haven't forgotten just which series of platform GTA grew up on.

i was wondering the same thing.I think in NA THE 360 will have better legs, while the ps3 will go on forever in others.

I think PS3 GTA sales may take a bit of a hit from the crashing reports, though I believe Rockstar released a patch to fix it.

I'm thinking that the PS3 version will do better in the long term becase I also think most 360 users are more likely to purchase the game in th first week. That said, I know a couple of people who own a 360 and haven't bought it yet.

PS3 better legs but MK Wii will beat both

i think the 360 version will have better legs due to the fact that it has the dlc, which makes it a certaintly to outsell the ps3 version later on in the year.

Some of you don't agree but that reason makes the most sense to me.

It's true 360 gamers will move onto a new game, so will ps3 owners, but when dlc hits, i'l be digging out my gtaiv again.

Both seperately? Or combined? If combined, we've been over this.

Jaguar: Hmm, that's a good point. DLC might spur sales for the holiday season if it's large enough. That certainly would have been a good strategy by Microsoft, although I don't think the DLC will help much in Europe. 

Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 won't have a Japanese advantage like DMC4 did, so it will be also be interesting to see how lifetime sales end up.
