GTA IV sold the same on PS3 as it did on the 360.

First of all, going back to JT's line of questioning, can you give us an idea as to this 13million GTA 4 units, how many of those are Xbox 360 platform? So what's the addressable market for the downloadable The Lost and Damned.

Lainie Goldstein

It's approximately 50/50, Ed.

So I guess Rockstar won't lose as much as people thought if they make GTA V a PS3 exclusive as they've hinted they might due to lack of adequate storage space on the flimsy 8.54gb DVD-9 disc.

Rockstar would be more credible than sales data.

There are less PS3's out there, so that's something.

Except executives are even more liable since they can be sued by shareholders for misleading statements. Try again.

Actually accorrding to this article that has been posted on this site it clearly states that it has sold more on the 360

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6205850.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1

Well one thing is for certain. Cows would once again fall in love with the GTA series where as now they act as though it's Meh b/c 360 has the best GTA4 version getting all the saweeeet expansions. :P

It's moot anyway as RS is earning money right now on 360 with over a million DL's of L&D and anticipate 2 million by Oct. 09 and me thinks 3 mil. by end of 09 so ..... just sayin.

This article supports the fact that Rockstar won't be going exclusive at all with the GTA series.

They'd lose half their sales making it a PS3 exclusive, and maybe another 50 million for exclusive DLC. That's an insane amount of money to lose...bobbetybob

I was disappointed by the game so I sold it after one week.

If that 50/50 is true than there could be more fans who own PS3

Lemme guess GTAIV is now a good game...:roll:

EDIT: Before I get flamed, I've always said GTAIV is great.

The "PS3 games dont sell" arguement died off pretty fast.

Wrong, 360 sold more with NA. Period.

However, lets go with ur argument.........your telling me that your fine being neck to neck with the Xbox brand?????

Man, how the PS brand has fallen.

50/50? Interesting. You lemmings should start buying more games :xFloppy_Jim

this statement was clearly a PR stunt. The NA 360 install base alone makes this statement completely false.

We assume the NA install base negates this... but not everybody is buying GTA4. Think how many people younger than 17+ on 360's... probably a few

nonsense. The attach ratio was higher for the PS3 version, but not high enough to warrant a 50/50 split between the two consoles.

This news makes absolutely no sense. Europe numbers favoured the PS3 version by some hundred thousands, but the 360 version is ahead by at least 1 million in NA.

Yes. Exactly. Sony must have had something to do with this. Because when you look at the sales trends when the game released, it is definately not 50/50 worldwide.

i can see them fitting more content on the BR-disc for the ps3 version, then making the 360 version have DL-able add ons, i dont see how couldnt work

There are less PS3's out there, so that's something.

It's a conspiracy!!11111!!! :o

I will stick with the numbers the executives offer who are actually in charge of said company/game. However by all means please do continue to expand your theory on how Sony is behind this one. That type of talk is what makes System Wars such an entertaining place.

They'd lose half their sales making it a PS3 exclusive, and maybe another 50 million for exclusive DLC. That's an insane amount of money to lose...bobbetybob

They actually would not lose half...only about 2-3 million sales. And then milk people for DLC...yay. But it will be multiplat regardless to maximize profits.

I'll give TC the benefit of doubt. Maybe he meant timed exclusive like the PS2 titles.
