Wow. Amazing numbers, don't you think? Im not a huge fan of the series, but I did buy the game to try it out and see the hype. Congrats to all the guys at Rockstar. I know you have been working hard.

It is video game obliteration. Those are some godly numbers. Pretty good for PS3. They didnt get pwned too bad it seems.

PS3 didn't get owned at all if those numbers and ratio hold up.

1.5:1 in NA is definitely a win for the PS3. The hardware numbers are going to be amazing.

seems like it's possible, that week1 sales of GTA IV PS3 is already higher than MotorStorm LTD sales, so it will debut as the #1 selling PS3 game of all time lol

Yeah you know what, the 360 has over two times the install base and Day 1 sales are 60-40? That is ridiculously good for the PS3. DMC 4 for PS3 outsold the 360 version too! I wonder if the 360 versuion will be able to push away or will the PS3 move closer? Wow, nice for PS3!
