SCEA's Peter Dille Comments On GTA IV 2-1 Figures

PS3Fanboy Writes

"According to Level Up, the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV has been outselling the PS3 at nearly a 2-1 ratio, with 64% of sales going to Microsoft's platform, and 36% going to Sony's. Granted, this data comes from first week sales at GameStop, which will skew towards early-adopting hardcore gamers. Many had suggested that GTA was so strongly associated with the PlayStation brand that PS3 sales would boom from the release of the new GTA. Could this initial sales data suggest otherwise?"

I agree.

What I like about this article is that it is as balanced as we will ever get and still, the spin machine is in full effect from both parties.

2 - When it comes to sales. I don't care because...
Nintendo is kicking arse in the sales department despite the low software attachment rate. I wonder what will happen if GTA4 for the PS3 outsold the 360 copy in the future like on June, 2009. Would we care then. This feels like another fanboy flamewar.

2.1 - No one cares about the Wii
unless you're under 12 or over 40, you probably are happy playing Call of Duty and GTA 4/

McDonalds sells more hamburgers than say a Ruth's Chris sells steaks. But I'll tell you which one is for kids and which one is better ...

4 - Read The Article:
"--it's clear that GTA IV underperformed on Xbox 360 relative to Microsoft's pre-April installed base, while it exceeded expectations on PS3 relative to Sony's pre-April installed base."

Stop asking corporate shills any questions anymore. Does anyone care when a site interviews a president of some division in these companies? Not like you aren't going to get the same spin put on everything over and over again. Go interview someone unbiased or dig up some worker bee for inside info who isn't practiced in the art of spin control.
