Data obtained by MCV from official UK industry monitor ChartTrack shows that Rockstar's GTA IV has become the fastest selling game ever in a 24 hour period.
The figures – based on EPoS sales data and estimated retail transactions – show that total online and High Street sales for the game hit 609,000 in one day.
In addition, Xbox 360 narrowly nudged out PS3 in the 'battle of the consoles'.
335,000 copies were sold on Microsoft's machine whilst 274,000 copies were sold for PS3 yesterday.

If this is only EU numbers, I can imagine Worldwide numbers!!! I'm guessing GTA IV sold a lot more copies on the 360 in the U.S. while the oppisite is true in Japan.
But I also want to see how many systems GTA IV sold accross the board. This could be interesting ladies and gentlebeans!

thanks for the info,
I didn't know that there were 2 million xbox and 1 million ps3 in UK.
That's expected, i guess.
But it's just UK, not the whole Europe. Whole Europe sales for ps3 gta version will be equal to xbox or more.
I heard that there a some shortages of ps3 version, so that might factor in, but nonetheless it's a good start for ps3.

I don't know how you figured that...but if there are 1M PS3's in UK and they sold 274K copies of GTA IV on day 1 that means that 27% of all PS3 owners bought the game day 1, as opposed to if there are 2M 360's in the UK and they sold 335K copies that means only 16% of 360 owners bought the game on day 1 meaning more PS3 owners got the game on day 1 than 360 owners.
Nevermind...I see what you did, just a ratio of #'s sold.

Everyone buys a GTA game, thats why it's the biggest game in history. But... PS3 is mostly bought for Blu-Ray movies, thats why your attach rate is lower than the Wii, a game system that has outsold the 360 and PS3. PS3 owners have 3 games on average but have about 15 movies, so that would be like every one game a PS3 owner buys, they buy 4.5 movies. Since the PS3 movie attach rate is higher than it's game attacht rate shows that most owners use if for movies. This one game as an acception to the rule, because it's so big, but this one game doesn't change the fact that the PS3 has the lowest attach rate in games. When you compare that to how well the console is selling, then add the never increasing attach rate in games, just shows it's a DVD player more than a game console.

This is just UK numbers. The install base for the 360 is bigger and it did have a price cut last month. The 360 has been outselling the PS3 in the UK due to the price cut. EU, overall, the PS3 has been outselling the PS3 weekly, so I do believe the PS3 version will outsell the 360 version by a small margin.

considering the 360 was a year out earlier than ps3, not that far behind, i think gta4 will hold the record sales for multi-platform sales, but i think halo 3 will still be single console sales... Rockstar is dancing in the dough

I thinkthey overstocked the 360 version, and understocked the PS3 version, becuase several people I know were unable to get the PS3 version even at midnight.
I eprsonally didn't go but my pre-order was dealyed to SAturday!
And for Europe PS3 version WILL sell more, it was just the 360 advertising that did this.

just a week ago he was running around like the loser fanboy he is claiming that the ps3 version was pre-ordered at a 3:1 ratio compared to the 360 version in the UK...lol
anyway, strong sales for both systems! and i know 6 people on my friend list(360 friend list) who couldn't get the game on tuesday because it was sold out every where!
i have a feeling this will sell well for a few months on both systems. well done r* on making such a great game!
edit: no pudding. overstocked the 360 and understocked the ps3??? ofcourse they did! that's exactly what happened!! and i wouldn't be so certain that europe will sell more ps3 copies either. there is more 360s in europe than ps3s, and, i live in france, i had to wait for nearly an hour for the indie shop in my town before it arrived(by taxi lol). i was at the back of a queue of over twenty people... and i only saw 3 that's rite THREE ps3 copies go, and the rest were 360 copies....trust me, it was only a small box that came by taxi on tuesday, and i was sh!tting myself that i wouldn't get one.

3.4 - wow, well for about a million less consoles out there
the difference is not bad at all, its actually pretty close if you see that 360 has double install base and sold about twice as much so they are selling pretty much the same. the world wide total should be a better indication of which console benefited more from GTA4 in consoles and games sold. This game really deserves all the attention.

PS3 just turned okne year old last month in the U.K... Xbox 360 has been out almost 2.5 years there... this is just embarassing for the Xbox 360 and those of you like Jason 360 trying to say te PS3 is a blu ray player... your just stupid.
This shows the power of GTA on the Playstation brand.... if it would have been Xbox 360 coming from behind... only being one year old... PS3 sales would have CRUSHED the Xbox 360... Xbox 360 BARELY won with more than a year head-start in Europe. It's HILAIROUS.
PS3 is the wanted Next gen console. Xbox 360 keeps performing like garbage. That is the truth. They should have won by WAYYYY more than that. Just like they SHOULD sale wayyyyyyyyy more hardware... but they won't. Because PS3 is the next gen machine everyone wants and is waiting for.

the PS3 is not the current gen console that everybody wants and is waiting in line for. That distinction goes to the Nintendo Wii. I think both M$ and Sony should be embarrassed that they are being outsold by such an simple machine.
But hey next time your girl says that size doesn't matter you can relate to the Wii. The Wii is kicking ass and is a graphical weakling.

That's because people are mostly stupid sheep, and like sheep they follow the crowd and buy the next 'in' thing. The wii's success is mostly because of it being a fad and people having no idea what a real next gen console is.
These UK numbers are interesting though, considering the install base for each console. It will be very interesting to the world wide numbers. personally I would like to see sony win because of the fact microsoft were so arrogant. It will also be halarious to see them lose because that haaaate it when they're wrong.
I honestly don't care too much though. I'm just happy all you gamers are enjoying and appriciating a very awesome and amazing game. I'll be joining you very soon (when i finally get a job).

Oh the Wii really doesn't have anything to do with this article. But you will notice that these comment sections go off on wild tangents all the time so I hope you will give me a little leeway .
I disagree with you Jess. I think the Wii has found so much success because Nintendo has really tapped into something. As a hardcore gamer I don't nearly give my Wii as much love as I should, but it appeals to a much broader base than the 360 or PS3. My wife's friends have done some drunken Wii playing after a girls night out. These are girls that have never touched video games. One just couldn't believe how much fun it was. This kind of reaction is typical of the people that I have gotten to try the Wii. But this is just what I have seen in my home.
As far as the Wii being a fad I think you can't really classify it as a fad. The Wii has been the hot item for two holiday seasons now. Fads really don't have that kind of staying power. People buy the Wii because it's fun. When they play it they have fun. According to hardcore gamers it's a toy, but video games are supposed to be fun. The Wii is. Isn't that what it's really all about?

360 has 1 million more consoles than PS3 in UK, and Microsoft put out an advertising campaign bigger than Halo 3.... and only 71,000 difference?
I haven't even got my PS3 copy yet!
And the punchline is the next GTA won't be on the 360 unless it requires the HDD and that's not really a sales campaign.

do you think microsoft will let gta slip away?? if it requires a hdd, then microsoft will just have r* put it on the packaging. simple as that really! and then, if you think take-two or who ever is the publisher (please don't let it be EA!!!), will want to miss out on the millions of sales that making it ps3 exclusive will mean, then i have to say that you really are deluded! gta will never again be exclusive unless A: microsoft or sony buy r* or take-two or B: microsoft or sony decide to pull out of the console business!
apart from those scenarios, then gta will be multi-platform from now until the franchis dies!

so gta san andrea sold 509,000 and that was all on PS2. so this year, it actually sold less on its first day on a particular console. i know back then it was exlcusive - but just sayin. they compared it with halo on xbox 360, but the whole article was misleading.
all i'm saying is it didn't sell as many copies on a single system as it gta3 did when it came out. while this doesn't mean anything - i'm just trying to point out all the hype.

Hum no ... 609k vs 509 is definitely improvement . And you make it sounds like as if each version should had performed as much on its own .
Given the ps3-360 competition , it boils down to the same thing as the monopoly of the ps2 ...
Lets also not forget a crucial point , the PS2 base was already at its peak when san andreas got release ...
All around great figures , with improvement .
Sony's percentage is also impressive given the difference of install base .

Nice response. I mean, I may never recover. That's saying something.
Give it a rest on the RROD comments, they're old and annoying.
You're just pissed because the PS3 copies of the game are broken, and the 360 is outselling the PS3 version.
Guess what? It happens. Don't try to cover it up with RROD.

1.6 - well thats DAMN close
335 k in an install base of 2 m
vs
274 k in an install base of 1.5 m
so definitely we can expect the PS3 version to sell more as more PS3s would be moved on it
cant wait for the sales figures of France/Germany/Italy and Spain.
I expect the PS3 version to outsell the x360 version 10:1 in those territories

Ariexv, it's not the PS3 that's freezing. It's defective copies of the game that's doing the freezing. I also wouldn't be bragging if I were you because the 360 is having the same problem as well.
And dem0n, pretty soon the PS3 freezing comment will get old as well. The RROD is still prevalent so why shouldn't ANYONE mention that?
And ravinshield, it seems that your ignorance knows no bounds.

you're a retard. Freezing happens to older version of ps3s, not the new ones, which people will buy.
RROD still happens in all the xbox.
Selling more doesn't make the the xbox have better graphics dumbass.
the install base of xbox is twice that of ps3, so it's pathetic that Microsoft didn't sell twice more.
xbox is also a movie machine but last-gen.

and i live in france, i saw the 360 sell about 20 copys to 3 ps3 copys on tuesday in my local shop. although that's not a nationwide trnd, you can guarantee that the ps3 version wont outsell the 360 version by much!

dem0n, before you spew things from your mouth-go do some research.
IT'S THE GAME THAT'S DOING THE FREEZING AND NOT THE CONSOLE ITSELF.
There are some defective games out there that's freezing the console. It's happening on the 360 as well so I don't see the reason for your bragging.
360 fanboys will always remain pure fanbrats.

Sorry but RROD is not a joking matter, we may talk about it but its really stupid IMO for a consumer to go out and buy an electronic KNOWING there are extreme high chances of breaking. Yes we understand ware and tear things like the optical driving breaking, but the actual system "melting" inside is another story.
BTW freezing apparently occurs on the xbox also... at least the ps3 will not suffer from total freeze (rrod).
It seems that xbox has sharper graphics but the trade off is ps3 has less texture popins and it is smoother. All I could say if your playing with a large environment game like gta , I would like less pop ins.
For instance if you in a helicopter you can see the water textures from a further distance than the xbox counter part.
The only advantage I see from the xbox version is sharper graphics thats about it (and oh yah gta is more of a single player game than anything else)

This is no more than fabricated news and downright false. With dwindling support of Xbox 360, Dark Sniper can assure you that PLAYSTATION® 3 will see superior sales of this game. Grand Theft Auto IV's release will be one of the primary factors in PS3 killing 360 in total hardware units this month and beyond.
People want the full experience of GTA IV, this can only be done on PLAYSTATION® 3. Please keep in mind that these sales are only in one country which is the United Kingdom. On a worldwide standpoint, PLAYSTATION® 3 is undoubtedly killing 360 in sales.

Sniper for a full experience of anything you need to have the main product and all the extras.
Main product=gta iv
Extras=dlc
main dlc=360
so to sum up full experience of gta iv=360
Oh I know the ps3 is getting some exclusive clothes and maybe a new car but not the main bulk of dlc. Thats the 360.
Before anyone says about how much m$ paid for dlc ask yourself how much did $ony pay for rockstar not to release the game when finished.

Study shown that europe and the uk sells more games than us.
It was on here before. But then again its been shown that the 360 sells games 2:1 than the ps3 and thats disputed, has spin put on it, damage control.
You know the comments about how there are more 360's out there so it would sell more right after the comments about the 360 being dead and every game on the ps3 will sell more than the 360.
Edit not arguing with the guy above just putting what i've seen.
