Forums - Gaming - GTA IV coming to Japan on Oct. 30

Xbox 360 is a Western Console. Pass. You win 10 points.
GTAIV is a Western Game. Pass. You win another 10 points.

Japan, is an eastern country. UTTER FAIL. You lose 100000 points.

Think about this logically. There aren't 'many' 360 owners in Japan. There are plenty of PS3 owners.

Now, those who bought a 360, would clearly have to be gamers and love RPG's, there's no other reason to buy a console that's doing do poorly in that region. So, if they're gamers, chances are that the majority of people who own a 360, also own a PS3 or possibly a Wii.

The Japanese love their PS3. If they buy GTA4, there's a 9.5/10 chance it'll be on PS3. So, it might reach 105k combined sales with 70%-80% of those sales being on PS3. But you're telling me the 360 version will reach 105k alone?

Naw.

Hippynake - 400k Is not piss poor. Its just that 18mil is phenominal.

I say it sells 300k Ps3 100k 360 LT



Hey cool. This means it will take Mario Kart Wii a few more weeks to outsell it worldwide.

A race is always more fun when one of the racers puts on a surprise burst of speed.
