GTA IV delay beneficial for PS3 owners. All versions got delayed thanks to that hard to develop for POS.

Good to know that we have a Rockstar developer to confirm that for us.

Otherwise I would just go on thinking that Rockstars 360 development units kept dying on them.

See what I did there? I used your fanboi statement, and made one of my own! It is really easy.

My suggestion is this: PS3 sells well, 360 sells well.... competition spawns innovation.

You should be happy they delay the game instead of coming back here and crying because the game was rushed. Regaurdless of what the reason is.

You do realize that GTA IV started development on the Playstation 3 platform?

Just some food for thought...add it up about some of the stuff that has leaked through about storage and space, more than just once.

3 - Price Cut?

So I assume they have huge numbers of the liquidated model of the PS3? Because once those are gone the price is still the same..

You are half-correct, but of course you would omit that the insides of the box are not the same.

6 - I just wanna see

Software sales stats for the PS2. Justs for laughs. I mean, if Madden 08 can sell almost 1 million on a console with a base of approximately 11 million (that's pretty awesome no matter how you look at it), I wonder how many copies would sell for the console with a base of 120 million.

Anybody have an idea where to find software stats like this for last gen consoles?
