Does VG track presales? If not anyone know of a way to get an estimate?

Looking for GTA4.

I don't believe that they track pre-orders, but if you were to ask the right people, they might have some answers for you...

...unfortunately, I don't have these answers... -_-

Okay. I FINALLY found it:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=17280

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%

This was talking about 360 vs. PS3 Pre-Orders for GTAIV, and ioi threw in relative numbers for SSBB. This information is over a month and a half old. So I'm willing to say that Pre-Orders, if true, are WELL over 2m by now for both consoles.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
