Nice, but not too unexpected since GTA is more associated with the Playstation brand.
I was expected... when they showed the first time the number I called it was wrong.
And GTA IV on PS3 is missing data in Europe for some weeks... it is definitively undertracked.
BTW a lot of games are overtracked in 360 tracking in this site.

It's a big deal because GTA IV's numbers look much different, with the PS3 version still behind. This time, that version will outsell the 360 counterpart by at least 3 million, when all is said and done. Quite the change (depending on perspective). As I said though, for a GTA, no it isn't a big deal. It's a more established IP on the PlayStation. |
No, because these things flucuate. Yes, GTAIV sold more on 360, probably because the 360 had the bigger momentum then. Now they are far more equal (ith PS3 slightly ahead), which also shows in the numbers. It is the same with COD, where the PS3 version have sold much closerto their 360 counterparts than before. Not strange at all.
It is still indeed huge...

The 360 at the time was stomping the PS3 into the ground userbase-wise. The 360 had a 6/7 Million lead in sales, while the PS3 had only sold around 12 Million units. The userbase simply wasnt there for PS3 to push numbers as big as the 360 version could (added in with 360 exclusive advertising/bundles). The PS3 had sold ~4 Million units in America, compared to the 360's ~10 Million at the time. If I remember correctly, the 360 was even winning in Europe at the time, too. Userbase gave the 360 the main advantage, the exclusive bundles/advertising/content just added to it. |
I forgot about how low the install bases of each were back then.
You have to remember that Grand Theft Auto is a game changer and it was very associated with Sony. The GTA 4 boosts would have been more in favor of the ps3 back then if it wasnt for a big portion of people going out of their way to buy it on 360 in order to have access to the dlc.
Other PS known franchises sold better on ps3 aswell Devil May Cry 4(which also released in 08)
| CGI-Quality said: OT: My thoughts - well, with the PS3 being the higher seller overall, coupled with GTA's presence with the brand, it being ahead is no surprise. However, that gap amount IS a shock. |
Another fact: GTA V total sales would have passed San Andreas totals to become the highest selling GTA ever if we didn't had that 360 adjustment. Anyway, it should pass that mark in a couple of weeks.
I'm calling also overtracked on PS3. Quote me on this.

It's in the Microsoft section because, the main topic is about XBOX which is from microsoft -.- And It's suprising because GTAIV sales for Xbox 360 are ahead of PS3 GTAIV sales. |
the main topic is about comparing gta5 sales on ps3 and 360 not xbox its even a 3rd party game it should be sales section
yeah by what 500k? thats b/c gta4 was released when ps3 was in the 400-500 range then, now the the price is equal we get to truly see what the PS brand is cabable of all, this is a huge indicator of what to expect next gen to look like ps vs xb sw sales and hw
