@ captainprefrences

Not only it's MGS bundle but it's also reintroduction of 80GB to the NA market(PS2 backward compatibility)

I think around 180K units in NA alone for that week

Because this article is for day 1,,,they might give numbers for the first week comapred to last week but they are not gonna due that for first day

We got 1 days sales figures for plenty of other titles/sales cuts.

 

 

Darth, not negative, just realistic.   If you want to say I'm spinning it then I'm spin something already being spun back into context.

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

the ps3 is a beast when GTAIV is involved. i mean many ps3 fans just wanted a good reason to jump upto the ps3 and now some of them have one. if you think this is huge wait till MGS4

GTA is much bigger than MGS. Go check the sales.


 Na i already know that GTAIV is a bigger game than MGS sales wise but because of MGS4 being exclusive to the ps3, i think its going to be a bigger system seller

software : 360 >> PS3
Hardware PS3 > 360

yeah about 11.6 mill units of 360 un Americas and about 4.73 ps3´s in americas and microsoft is "happy" that the ratio of GtAIV is 2:1 compared to ps3, common, 360 has more than the double of units that ps3 has in the Americas, in a earlier notice vgchartz says that GTAIV sold about 1.5 million in the 360 version and 1 million in the ps3 versión, is that 2:1 ratio?

Probably just not Walmart-shoppers' type of game. Would sell better at Gamestop, Best Buy, etc. I bet.
  I bought my copy of GTA 4 at Frys on April 29, and there were stacks upon stacks of the game for both consoles.  I also went to a couple of Best Buy stores out of curiosity, and saw plenty there as well.

 Miss the part where it mentioned Gamestop also.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
