Forums - Gaming - Microsoft Teases Sony For PS3 GTA IV Install Time

The only reason PS3 version has outsold the 360 version by a measely 130k is due to Japan where it outsold the 360's version by about 240k. If you take out the extremely biased Japan 360 version sold better.

Nearly every multi-platform game out has been heavily in 360's favor. I don't think this one game is a good indicator of install time difference in sales.


This is poor logic at it's finest. Replace "extremely biased Japan" with "Extremely biased North America" and the numbers will change in a similar manner, just not in favor of the 360.

Somehow if Sony made fun of MS about something like RROD I don't think the response would be the same.

Hating microsoft is fun though.

what happened to the good old days console game does not need an installation on the hard drive and the bug free experience??? lately the console developers I the ugly approach of pc developers, that is release now and patch later bullshit.

It reminds me of when Sony teased MS about not having full B/C and releasing a watered down SKU at a cheaper price tag... then turned around and did the very same things themselves.

Games you can buy for your PS3, instead of paying for a online service:

This was just a joke. People take things too seriously.

If you believe this after the numerous times MS slings the mud towards sony you are naive.

Let's face it. MS want more money. Thats what business is about. This is obviously their strategy. To talk bad about the competition to scare people away from it.


Oh please. Of course its a sling at sony. But its still funny. Too many people get pissed over over nothing. Go have a cry about it.


hypocricy at its best.


 But it was a joke on Microsofts behalf. Many comedians use comedy to make serious statements about the world. Whilst I'm not going to say that microsofts comments were warrented I still fail to see why a companies pr should be taken this seriously. So as I said before. Have a cry, I sure wont.

Too bad MS didn't go into the comedy business. Stop trying to spin this it was uncalled for and in bad taste. Read the responses people don't like seeing this kind of stuff. It makes them look kinda pathetic

OMG is this thread still going? Get over it people!!!! They made a joke. The joke itself was a little lame, but the fact that they made one definitely was. Three years of Sony saying their console's power is unrivaled and now the biggest multiplatform game ever needs an install to match the Xbox 360's performance.

When that Sony rep said "their console doesn't even work (and he wasn't joking, he was being a dickhead)" you didn't catch 360 fans bitching like you lot.

"OMG MS made a jab at Sony they're so immature, if I was a soccer mom I wouldn't let my child own a 360! This is just proof that MS is finished! I would laugh if Sony made some jabs at them, here, I made a list of possible ideas..."

Grow up people.
