The exclusive episodes for the 360 are nice, but offers no real system selling potential. Free online multiplayer, free Home integration + DLC, no disc scratching / RRod worries, alledged better graphics for the PS3 version, no annoying drive noise, etc should be of greater importance.

A PS2 GTA fan will probably prefer the PS3 controller which is very similar to the PS2 controller, also all major PS2 exclusives (Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, The Getaway, Jak & Daxter, God of War, etc, etc) are more or less all comfirmed to come to the PS3 exclusively.

Really... Does nobody here see there are some very strong points to the advantage of the PS3 summarized above? IMO much stronger than the 2 non-free future espisodes nobody knows anything about and cheaper entry price (but lots of hidden costs as well as much lower entry specifications).

I will getting it for PlayStation 3. I have in my ass download content.

 How do you know that?  That's just your personal opinion that you're trying to pass off as fact.

It will eventually come to pc... i'll wait till then, controls better and i don't have money to buy a console just for one game.. or at least for any game that doesn't have final fantasy in its title

I see a 65/35 split in favor of 360.

If the expansion pack was so big and amazing, M$ would have announced it by now (or within the next week)(unless Sony are paying R* to stop then announcing it properly till post-launch) but I don't think it will be a massive expansion.

I think the main thing is that most PS2 GTA players will instinctively get a PS3, due to the brand, especially in Europe

I agree, if you pass time on a video games site posting ANYTHING you're waaay past average joe, heck, the bulk of the software sales is made by guys who buy it, enjoy it for a couple of weeks don't even finish it and then buy another game...

Stop thinking as hardcore gamers if you want to predict sales of anything

DLC for GTA 4 = Me playing it for a longer period of time
Achievements for GTA 4 = Enjoyment!!

Xbox 360 Version

*sighs* another thread on GTA IV.
I will say I do not care much about the series does not appeal to me but many other people will see this as the greatest game ever. PS3 or XBox 360 GTA IV either version would be good if your a fan of the GTA series. I may consider getting a copy of GTa IV when it drops down in value by the end of the year.

@Qly: they don't need to buy the DLC in order to give the 360 an advantage in sales, they just need to be convinced that they want it.

Never underestimate the power of marketing.
