They must have driven around for hours looking for the ONE STORE that has more pre-orders for the PS3 version.

 I'm pretty sure it's an article from UK, so maybe most stores have more PS3 pre-orders. Also, remember that MGS4 will come out about 1 month after GTAIV and I can see lots of PS2 users upgrading to a PS3 to play both.

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

The game will definitely sell a lot more on the 360 than the ps3, but that is too be expected. It's not that popular in Japan (like DMC4) so it won't see a huge boost from the ps3's most dominate market. That leaves the US & Europe. GTAIV will sell more on the 360 than the ps3 in the US by probably the same proportion DMC4 did....(360 will probably sell 50% more than the ps3 in US). I expect GTAIV will sell slightly more on the ps3 in Europe unless it is $10 cheaper like happened with DMC4.

But I do expect the attach rate to be higher on the ps3 version.

Sorry, it is more like 2.5:1

Scaled to Brawl Preorders (which are well over 1m!)

Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii) 100%
Grand Theft Auto IV (360) 85%
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) 36%

 Looking very good for my bet :). Seeing as GTA4 is further off, it will only increase further :).

Hey, ioi, do you often get preorder information?

If you get it often, it'd be pretty cool to see the information you recieve. Perhaps a new weekly article is in order.
