^^ And that's good for you, not a bad investment. But PS3 owners are obviously fine with their version, so I don't see the big deal either way.

I'm glad they are happy with just GTA 4. It's a great game!

We are patient, I could get Tales of Liberty City now if I wanted, but I am patient to wait for R*, who have basically never released an exclusive game

I have NEVER heard any PS3 fans complain either way about that DLC. Seems he's the only one concerned about iy.

Well, actually a friend of mine, who rarely plays games asked me about ToLC cause he saw an advert on a bus, but I told him it would come to PS3 at some point, because it will. It is just disapointing to miss out on that content, even though I would prefer they moved onto the next GTA rather than work on extra content for the same city. I have already spent over 60 hours in LC, I am ready to move on {and I will play quite a few more when I find time to play CtW}

Yeah, that's just from your experience. Many of my PS3 friends complained about it. You know what they did then? Came over my house and played the DLC packs. Two of them did actually buy a 360 because of this though.

Well, it hasn't stopped the PS3 version from doing good. Guess it wasn't that big a deal.

Correct, but it didn't perform as well as the 360 in the long run.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Then why is it being outsold currently BY the PS3 version?

Why does that matter? It is formerly a playstation franchise that's doing better on the 360 (compare last gen sales to this gen). I think that's impressive. Also, it's pretty clear that they're making more money on the DLC as GTA IV is under $40 new now and the EFLC disc is about to pass GTA IV sales. That's not counting the people who just downloaded both episodes. You guys can try and turn this into a moral victory for the PS3, but that's not pertinent to this topic and being rather silly.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

@cgi-quality ~ 4 real dood, you're embarrassing yourself and you are coming across as a bully trying to force your opinions on others

Step away from the computer for a sec an live in the real world instead of picking on people in cyber-world forums just because they have a different opinions from yours.

When it stops selling, GTA 4 will have sold more xbox 360 than on the ps3...PERIOD.

PS3 version is BARELY outselling the 360 version this year even though the 360 version is pirated and you can get it free.

Not that much of a big "gap" when you take into account the Exclusive stuff, advertising and console gap. Should have been much bigger.

Point to note -

GTA4 PS3 2009 Sales - 767,419
GTA4 360 2009 Sales - 731,028

Wasn't aware of this. And with Microsoft's two exclusive episodes, this has to be a slap in the face.

a tight one at that

nice one CGI that was hilarious!

oh and the guy in the fish avatar gets a mention for getting the data



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

@CGI-QUALITY - Just because you and carl spew sony propaganda doesn't mean the rest of us shoud drink the Kutaragi kool-aid.

Back on topic. I think the gap will be reduced when GTA 5 is released.

In fact, i would be surprised if the ps3 version didn't sell more.

Well, considering that I've said from the get-go that this was a victory for Microsoft, you don't know what you're talking about. Furthermore, the ones being silly are the ones who have been defensive over nothing, and you should know that since you've been on the frontlines of defense since you got in here.

My advice: don't take this stuff so personally all the time. You express anger and rage in most threads you go into. Good day.

 

He's not expressing anger, nor is he expressing rage. He's stating what he wants to. You seem the one to be taking offense, especially when you noted before "that what I said was insulting."

@cgi-quality - There was nothing petty or insulting about ANYTHING I said,

I was simply expressing my opinion. I can't control or predict what offends others.
Nor should I worry that sharing my opinions, based on facts and sound reasoning, should cause an undue burden upon others.



Yeah its a great game and i hope the next one sells more than GTA IV.

* facepalm *

I was defensive because I was reminding you that you were insulting? You seem to have a guilty conscience over it.

Also, he expresses anger in many of the threads he visits. Whether you choose to ignore, oh well, but I'm calling what I see. However, we're off-topic. If you want to continue this debate, PM me. Otherwise, let's get back to the topic.

First off, it wasn't offensive. How do I have a guilty conscience over it lol? It doesn't bother me, but it bothers you. No, he doesn't express anger, just statements. Nothing wrong with that. You seem to be the one taking offense to everyone stating things against your opinion.
