GTA pre-orders as of yesterday. Apr 23

PS3 103
360 152

PS3 Special Version: 53
360 Special Version: 78

 Wow, totally anecdotal, but exactly in line with what ioi has told us.

Sales look to be 1.5:1, at least in America.

So, how much will GTA IV sell in the first week? Let's put in some numbers for NA/Others with PS3/360 sales for
that week. Here is my guess ;)

Others

 Hardware
GTA IV
PS3 250k1.6m
360 125k800k

 

NA

  HardwareGTA IV
PS3 220k 1.1m
360 175k 1.5m

 


I'm not going to take guesses on software, because it's just going to be crazy.

Your hardware is way too high though, at least for the PS3 in Others. GT5:P only pushed it to 150k, I just can't see GTA4 topping that (by THAT much). I would say 180k tops for PS3 in Others. Others 360 hardware is more reasonable I think.  NA hardware is a bit high, but not too much. Remember, Halo 3 only pushed 360 to 125k, so I'd say 150k tops for 360, and maybe something similar for PS3.

Others:

PS3 - 750k/150k

X360 - 600k/100k

 

NA:

PS3 - 650k/120k

X360 - 1100k/150k

 

Combined soft PS3 - 1400k

Combined hard PS3 - 270k

Combined soft X360 - 1700k

Combined hard X360 - 250k

This I agree with (hardware wise). Software, it's anyone's guess if you ask me. 



Europe

PS3 1m/140k
360 900k/110k


America

360 3m/150k
ps3 1.8m/120k



America:
SW = PS3 1.8m, 360 2.9m
HW = 165k, 155k

Europe:
SW = PS3 1.6m, 360 1.6m
HW = 185k, 125k

Total :
SW = PS3 3.4m, 360 4.m
HW = 350k, 280k

Yes I know this is optimistic

 I couldn't decide what to predict, but this looks good to me.




I agree with munkeh111

Want to know the truth??

GTA IV won't have that big of an impact on sales (10% to 20% max), and ioi will have a huge problem on his hands
He'll either:
a) put up his raw data and fear that everyone will bash it saying its too low and somethings wrong with is data
or
b) he'll edit his data and boost it higher (25%-40%) so that fanboys on all sides will congratulate themselves for cheering the right console
