I don't know about the rest of you, but the more people I talk to, the more I hear "Oh I'll buy a PS3 when GTAIV comes out".

Is it not interesting that despite the lengths Microsoft have gone to ensure they can get the edge on sales, with the exclusive content deal and whatnot, people are still, to my eyes at least more likely to buy on the PS3, and the gap could very well be quite significant.

Maybe I'm just overestimating the importance of GTA this generation but this could be trend with multi-platform games from now on? And could contribute to the PS3 gaining the upper hand consistently in sales at some point in the near future. (Of course, it could be argued that 360 sales are going to slow down anyway cause most people have them by now.)

The people that own only a 360 and want this game will no doubt be buying it for the 360. imo, the game is trash and not worth buying but I doubt people will buy a ps3 just for this game.

lmfao, what a tool

Going against the populer oppinion makes him a tool? Ugh... Um.

Anyway GTA will make people buy a ps3, but at the same time it will improve 360 sales.

I expect the 360 version to decimate the PS3 version...

...and it'll have nothing to do with "exclusive-episodic-bonus-chapters".

It'll be because of this kid:

Sadly, these "gangsta-casuals" make up the bulk of GTA sales and always will...

Now...GTA4 is multiplat so choosing between systems is all about the supporting cast of games.

Do you think the "gangsta-casual" would rather play GTA4 + MGS4 + Little Big Planet?

...or GTA4 + Halo 3 + Gears of War 2?

If M$ was going to do a price cut this year, 2 weeks before the gtaiv release would be a good time to do it. A 249 - 299 pro sku with gtaiv - rrod = win.
