Forums - Sales - Good News about GTAIV PS3 Preorders in UK

SpartanFX on 22 April 2008

I never saw this coming ,,even after this many XBOX 360 ads ,,,PS3 has managed  to outsell it 3:1 at asda.

 

 http://thesixthaxis.com/gta_iv_ps3_outselling_360_version_31_news_899_tsa.aspx

 

Also in game.co.uk the GTAIV  for PS3 is number 1 and 360 one is not even in top 10:

I know preorders are not the final thing ,,but it's good to see PS3 version doing good despite of many 360 tv ads .

 

Is asda a big supermarket or what?(question is for people from UK)

Asda is pretty big, probably 4th largest after Tesco,Sainsburys and Morrisons; doubt many people go their for games however so i cantimagine itbeing indicative of overall sales much.

The GAME preorders is interesting however; I hear theyre opening their stores at midnight for the launch too.

PS3 is going to pwn the 360 in UK based on this news.

ioi,

Do you have any information about GTA pre-orders you can share with us? I remember a while back you posted something about the NA pre-orders. Any update on those numbers for NA? Any chance of giving us a peak at the Others pre-orders? Please :)



PSN ID: krik

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