www.cenega.pl and
http://www.rockstargames.com/IV. LinkBasically the distributor says GTA IV is the fastest selling current gen title in Poland, with sales being comparable across both formats. As you suggest, it's probably 1.3:1, as I'd consider that comparable. Clearly 3:1 just isn't comparable at all.
Incidentally, SCE Poland claim the largest number of PSN users in Eastern Europe, they seem quite proud that it's even bigger than Russia, despite haing half the installed base. A little ironic seeing that Poland didn't even get a PS Store until late last year. There are still a few SCEE countries without PS Stores, my guess is Sony don't consider it worthwhile until there is an installed base of 10k - 20k in the country.
