Forums - Gaming - GTA 4 will sell over 20 million copies PS3+X360

mrstickball on 29 November 2007

It has an outside shot at 20m. Is it possible? Yes. Is it not possible? Yes.

IMO, it should wind up around 16-18m.

I'd say we should see the X360 version hit 8-10m sales (just below Halo 3), and anywhere from 4-8m on the PS3, depending on how the PS3 does in the coming months.

GTA is a very casual series. Don't expect insane frontloaded sales. Even GTA:SA sold a mere 1.5m copies on it's debut month....But it sold 1m+ copies for 3-4 months straight, and sold more than 100k a month in the US for more than a year.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I have no doubt in my mind that this game will sell 20 million before it is all siad and done. I just can't wait tell next year when all of those Wii people are ready to play it and it is not their. GTa is going to be the point were HD consoles begin to really start hammering the Wii. I think it will also be the point were the PS3 starts beating the 360 in America. After Warner goes Blu-ray exclusive at CES, HD-DVD will be dead. MS will drop the 360 to 250,300, and 400 which will in turn force Sony to 350, and 450 (granted thier is no other PS3 modle by then). By the time GTA hits Blu will be heavy on the consumers mind, and it will factor heavly into their console decision. It may also help that 20 million people remember playing this game on PS2 4 years ago. In any case I see it at 12 million on the PS3, and 5 million on the 360 when it is all said and done.

I can already here the roar of the retards, and yes it will sell this good even with the small user bases. GTA3 came out with a similar UB on the PS2 and it is at like 14 million.

It still shocks me that some people actually think SSBB has a chance of beating GTAIV's sales.

SSBB is probably going to end up with SMG like sales.

 

GTA 4 will get the biggest attach ratio in the history of video games.

by life time

12M(X360)

8M(PS3)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
