How does GTA V selling millions will help other companies? Rockstar can be the most successful dev out there and the other will keep making flops.
OT: I expected a lot but man this is insane.

We keep getting record breaking games year over year and record breaking revenues how does that hint a dieing industry?
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Pure math UK + France 360: 1.51m All the others contries sales over 70% for PS3 version... so the difference will increase in Europe in PS3 favor. Guesswork for Europe (I'm being conversative with PS3 numbers) 360: 2.5m So US needs at least sell 1.5m in US plus 1.3m to give it a 1.3 million lead in sales... US? 360: 5.8m Call me crazy but NOOOOOO WAY! |
First off, do you actually have proof that all European countries had the PS3 version at gerater than 70% or is that just a guess based on France's numbers? Because whilst I'm sure all European countries (sans the UK of course) had a higher percentage of GTA V copies sold on the PS3, I don't think they were all 70% or greater. There are probably a good amount of countries in Europe which had a lower percentage than that.
Secondly you're simply jumping from the U.S. to Europe and not considering any other countries. New Zealand and Australia probably had pretty even numbers for both consoles, Mexico and Canada were probably very similar to the U.S. (and both those countries have good sized gaming markets) in terms of percent breakdown. And then for even smaller markets, South America and the rest of the world probably had the bigger share on the PS4...but that's probably not a very big amount of games total.
All that aside I think the breakdown for the 360 and PS3 is closer to 53/47 than 55/45. But that's not based on any real proof, it's just my opinion.

From the big dogs only, what about the rest? This type of sales kinda proof that games need to either be massive AAA with huge marketing or indie games in order to be succesful. Everything in between is dying.

I don't know... these numbers seens off... I will wait NPD... for now seems VGC seems far way wrong with 1.3m lead for 360.
Game is so good. A must own. Glad Rockstar took the time to make a classic. AGAIN!!!!
Wow that's huge. And very interesting that the 360 version sold a lot more than the PS3 version since we had people here claiming the PS3 version would sell much better and would be much better.
