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

DOATS1 on 02 May 2008

starcraft, at least 8 people in the first page have mentioned that you were trolling, including a mod. if that isn't enough evidence, then r kelly isn't a peadophile.

Guys leave Starcraft alone and discuss the topic, i dont see anything unusual about his arguements, it's always been the same thing.

1) starcraft isn't trolling.

2) if the title was correct, maybe you wouldn't accuse him. It should say 360 version outselling ps3 version 2-1 in the USA!

UPDATE - Microsoft tells Next-Gen that the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV is outselling the PlayStation 3 version by a wide margin in the US, but Sony questions Microsoft's claims
it's probably 1.5 - 1 . and sony probably won the hardware war because of this
"Asked if April NPD results would definitely show a GTA IV-driven Xbox 360 hardware boost, Greenberg said, "I think we'll have solid performance in April, but I think you might actually see a bigger impact in May.""  

Wide margin i think does mean more tha 50%.. or may be its even above 2:1... unlikely.. but i think we will know the correct numbers next week.

The global reported tally seems to portray a near 50/50 situation, how anyone spins that into 2:1 is beyond me quite frankly.
Even in 360 land (NA), the figures were roughly 60/40 in favour of the box and the trend is more than likely to be the opposite (rather exactly according to prelim data all across the board) in Eu/Others.

I love how both are boasting yet both failed to provide any evidence.

Hear is an exercise in comedy. Read both reports while listening to Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round.

If true, it's a great boost for MS. Unfortunately, they seem to exaggerate there sales before any meaningful data is collected.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Either way, I already predicted atleast 2:1 GTA4 sales in the US favoring Microsoft, anything less would be pretty embarrassing considering the advantage MS has over Sony right now.

I think 2:1 in MS' favor is "better than expected", although not too far off of expectations.  MS may very well have been planning on touting a 2:1 number, because they could surely find some retail partners (Best Buy, for example) where 2-1 was almost certain.  Microsoft coming out and saying, "hey, we're crushing the PS3 for GTA4 in America" makes them look like a winner, and that gives the 360 some positive perception among people who may not know better and will never follow up on this to see what the final sales numbers look like.

I think Starcraft's point is this: GTA is Sony's house.  And Microsoft came into Sony's house and beat them.  At least in the US.

Pathetic Starcraft at his best.

This site really needs to consider banning for personal insults.  It would clean things up a lot and make this a better site all around if the people who sling them regularly simply weren't here.
