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

Rockstar should be quite upset by this, imagine if the DLC was on both consoles, then this article would read 4 million by the end of the year. And it probably would have sold even more GTA4 games.

This post is fundamentally incorrect for a number of reasons.

First of all, even supposing Rockstar had the capacity to put the DLC on both consoles, there is not a chance that the PS3 with a smaller game userbase and smaller online culture would have sold anywhere near the amount of copies of DLC the Xbox 360 has.

Second of all, the DLC only EXISTS because Microsoft paid for it at a time when Take Two DESPERATELY needed money to get GTAIV finished.  It's perfectly feasable that the game itself wouldn't exist were it not for Microsoft's generous outlay.

guys who obviously are full of envy the DLC has not been hyped at all..

Did people really expect the DLC to fail? It's GTA ffs, I'd be surprised if it did anything aside from well.

Yes, a lot of people did. "Nobody will care about an expansion pack to an overrated game from 2008!" "$50 million wasted!" "Horrible investment!" And so on.

But I still refuse to believe Pachter's projections, so maybe it did fail!
