Forums - Sales - GTA 4 DLC to sell 2 MILLION By Years End -- SKY HIGH Attach Rate + Numbers!

Your point is...? The 360 version has outsold the PS3 version by nearly a million and a half, and continues to sell more each week. In a little over 2 weeks Lost and Damned has sold over a million, and is projected to go on to 2, something most full release games don't do.

Besides that, this is only the first expansion. There's one more coming, and if it does similar numbers then I'd say it was a resounding success. Don't forget, you need a hard disk to download this, so the attach rate is even better than it appears.

As for your comment that it was supposed to be the new Vice City or San Andreas, that's just complete bull. Neither MS nor Rockstar ever said that, and you're just trying to make it seemed like the DLC underperformed when in fact it was breaking records.

 

When you look at the number of consoles, though, the PS3 has sold more copies per console out there.

When you look at overall sales numbers, Microsoft systems have improved greatly over Sony systems which have sold far fewer copies of the games.

 



Tease.

I'll wait til I get R* numbers, not Pachter. but if it did do a million, good for Rockstar. 20 million in revenue for DLC is pretty nice.

If Pachter says it, I don't believe it.

GTA sells well. News at 11.

I kid, I kid. It's doing well for DLC.

Awesome sales, great reviews (Above 90% on metacritic), and another episode on the way!

Great investment by MS, and great for GTA fans!

They said no one would buy it. They said people just buy GTA to goof off and that no one cared about the story. Guess this proves them wrong.

@ Manuelf: I think you mean the DS.

OT:
2 million is the number that that anylist who is consistantly incorrect ESTIMATES. 1 million is actual number for the game which is what I think GTA4 sold in its first 5 minutes at retail. Will it have legs? Doubt it. Nobody I know with a 360 has bought it nor do they care to waste precious propritary HD space on this episodic content. GTA 4 is soo 2008.

 Well, if nobody you know has bought it that must mean nobody will.

There are a lot of ways that this will continue to sell:
- on it's own right now because it's still new and is marketed pretty heavily.
- continued dropping of the GTA 4 price making it the same price to buy the extra content + game as it costs to buy a new release.
- bundled/discounted pricing with GTA 4 (the physical boxes/cards will help with this)
- a lowered price once the second episode is released
- bundled/discounted pricing for both episodes
- bundled/discounted pricing with GTA4 and both episodes.

The only negative thing I can see is that you do need the HD space which kills all Arcade owners. Maybe they'll release a "collectors edition" or whatever after both episodes have been released that will have the total package in disc form.
