Hmm, interesting data.I don't think it's very indicative of final sales.

I see both systems selling a boatload of copies. Maybe a lot of consoles moving that week as well. How they will each fare is anyone's guess, but I have a feeling that the market will stay the same, with ps3 in second place for a while.

1.5:1 in NA in favour of the 360 over the PS3 regarding GTA 4 sales. They look like first week sales figures for GTA 4 to me in NA. I am assuming GTA 4 would be sold out in NA for first week and preorders only. lol.

yeah I don't know why people were saying 360 would be 2:1 (2mil to 1 mil) When I thought it would just sell 3mil (which I was obviously wrong) I said 360 would just be about 500-600k above the Ps3

I think all in all, the two versions will sell remarkably well and very similar numbers.

it's got to be more than that, that would look bad for MS, they have a huge fanbase advantage.
