The PS3 is definitely doing a lot better this week than anyone could have predicted. It looks like Pachter's predictions about GTA being more synonymous with the Playstation brand to be correct. Nintendo probably allocated Wiis just for this week to counter the big boosts PS3 and 360 got from GTAIV.

Chart-Track already confirmed the PS3 version outsold the 360 version(in the UK at least), but the PS3 is a software seller in EU so it's not unbelievable.

Yea but i didn't really see PS3 coming ontop in software sales. In the UK, 360 is still ahead of ps3 by at least a million units. I don't think MSoft could have survived GTA4 on ps3 without a price drop

but even with that 1million extra in EU and extra 6mill in the US, the total console to software sales for GTAIV were higher on the PS3.

Yea i know. Sucks for microsoft since they don't really have any strong system sellers till Gears. Release dates on too human, left for dead remain sketchy. After NG2 whats the next 360 game with a release date?

Haha i just love when i am confused for a 360 fanboy its hilarious.

To be honest madden, i don't play games. I just try to analyze everything about them in the most quixotic method possible

Do you actually ever "p-l-a-y" games, or simply try to analyze everything about them in the most quixotic methods possible?

Ok Sonarus...I get it now. :P If you really don't play then that's sad, but I do believe you have to play something; otherwise it must be a miserable existence to see all of these wonderful games -- only not to play them. Great answer =)

---------------------------

Jolly1 -- Point well taken. All in all I believe that there are people that exist only to talk, cheerlead, analyze games without playing games at all, and that makes for some bland conversations, because you end up talking about things like percentages, figures, dates, and sites without any real talk of ...well.....playing games!

I guess I'm a real oddball because I love to spend hours/days playing games as well as talking about them when I can.

Games first / typing second for Maddens. 8D

edit/ below: So sonarus what games that you used to play are way more impressive than the ones you see today comparitively, and how so?

I used to play games hours everyday but lately, i am losing interest. Games just don't impress me like they used to. Plus i am busy with school now so don't have that much time to spare playing games.

Off course i play games though...what kind of human being doesn't play games:D

just crawl back under your rock, and never return. man you are the most annoying, and damn rite pathetic creature that i've yet come across on here. just do anything, but remove your fanboy self you little weirdo!!

it's a little strange to see sonarus(who is a ps3 fanboy, just not of zimbos stripe) getting attacked by the other ps3 fanboys...what gives?

anyway, there's no way of knowing anything because VGCHARTZ IS JUST ESTIMATES!!! BUT, LIKE OTHERS AT NOTED BEFORE, THEY ARE ACCURATE WHEN THEY ARE FAVOURABLE TO THE PS3! you lot will cling to anything!

and what is zimbo/alexM/shadow hearts/sammy_mantra raving on about? cant he just have his IP address banned or something?!

@Bullettoothtony i can post whatever comment i want and you can't stop me:D. Vgchartz pre sales analysis were predicting the 360 would outsell the ps3 not only with software but with hardware due to the 360's lower price but it seems they were wrong at least according to their fake data. I was being sarcastic about it but no one caught the joke apparently but i could care less.

@madden. Very very few games have impressed me enough to hold my interest this gen. Gears of war, Uncharted and warhawk are pretty much the only games that have held my interest. GT5P...maybe a little. Plus like i said i am busy with school so i have stuff to do. Not like i have to force myself to play a game i am not really interested in.

San Andreas appears in the top 50. lol
Guess some of those PS2 owners who aren't in the new-gen are compensating with a GTA fix of some sort.
Also, apart from GTAIV what is going on with 360's sales? Then again it is VGChartz.

Well, it could also be PS3 owners like me who got re-interested in the early releases in ancticipation. I know I'll probably be grabbing the GTA: The Trilogy and MGS: The Essential Collection along with GTA IV and MGS4, respectively.

PS3 is just less than a million away from 360 consoles count.Plus as I said PS3 will and has moved a lot more consoles than 360 did;) But it did prove me wrong as PS3 GTA4 sold more than the 360 counterpart.

Wow, well done Sony.

During the slow months of the year even though PS3 was beating XB by 30% or whatever, it was only 10's of thousands of consoles.

The cry from the bots was always, Sony will never catch up "at this rate." Well if its not obvious by now let me spell it out for you. They dont intend to stay "at this rate". In a quiet week 30% more might be 20K consoles but judging by these numbers PS3 is going to outsell XB world wide by close to 100K. In a week. Now imagine those ratios during Christmas. In a busy month it might be more than 500K. It wont be long "at that rate."

Plus, success tend to feed on its self and snowball. Sony didnt get here in one month. Theyve been slowly improving and improving every month, and are not likely to even slow down let alone turn around.

And heres food for thought. No Japanese numbers and already close to 100K in the lead. What if Japan suddenly woke up and said, I'm sick of balancing boards and virtual dogs. I wonder what that GTA is like. What console would benefit the most from that?

M$ is praying Japan never starts to like Grand Theft Auto. It would be Ironic if all their advertising was what made them have another look at it and get into it, flocking in droves for GTA and the MGS4 bundle.

still sold more consoles than either MS or Sony. Well not one person has mentioned that. They still outsold on a week with no major releases and they were up against GTA4. Well done Nintendo.
