Forums - Sales - MS: 360 version of GTA4 outselling PS3 version 2-1

starcraft on 01 May 2008

Haha, take a joke Pooper.

I think we will find that MS is overstating their software dominance. I think the fact that this is an old Playstation franchise will be very influential with regard to SW and HW sales like it was with DMC4. Nonetheless, by the end of May, a large number of old Sony gamers that only buy one console each generation will have bought a Wii for Mario Kart and Wiifit or a 360 for GTAIV. Relative to their gaming history, this will be a bad month for Sony.

Relative to May last year, this month will kick ass for all three console manufacturers.

well 60% to 40% means 6/4 which means 3/2 which means they are wrong. lol

got to love VGC estimates. they make more sense.

 Where are you getting 60% and 40%?

 The article says 360 GTA4 outsold PS3 version 2 to 1, so that's 66% to 33%. Personally, I was expecting 60-40, solely because Microsoft has more Xbox 360 in the U.S. market, nearly double that of the PS3. 

 Btw, if this turns out to be true, then Pachter will have been right.

That was neither subtle nor trolling.

How many non PS2 owners do you think will buy a PS3 this month?

Furthermore, how many PS2 owners do you think will buy a Wii or 360 or even a Wii60 this month?

If you're spinning what's already being spun, it's really spinning?

Besides, did you not notice the statement at the end of that post?
