will this game even release in japan this year?

But by Xmas, the exclusive downloadable content will be released, which will cause a boost to the Xbox version. I think that is far more significant than the Japanese release.

There is no reason DLC will sell more systems/copies. The DLC is now targeting owners of the game. The DLC was the 360's selling point. The game sold to people who already had the systems. Now it comes down to new console owners and what they pick up with their purchase... Ps3 is winning week in and week out. Also when it is released in Japan I can see the Ps3 version outselling the 360 version by 200k (Yes it is nothing in terms of the big picture but it is still a nice number.)

who would have thunk it?
I thought sales would go to 360 and attach rate to PS3.
Xbox360 did very well. Good job.

It's a clear win for MS, GTA sold a lot better on Sony's consoles, now the trend is reversed, and Sony are relevated to a 2º place this time. Doesn't matter what excuse you may come up with, 360 sold more GTA4 copies than PS3 did, and will sell more.

Great loss for Sony, as GTA was always released first on their consoles, now 360 gets the DLC.

You do realize there are 7+ million GTA people who have yet bought 4 right....

^ And that means?

Its far from over dip.

alot were thinking that the sales would also go to ps3

@Pooper~: No, I think it's already over. I cant see why PS3 sales of the game will start to rise all of a sudden while 360 drop. Care to tell me why?
