...and stated that GTA4 would prove to be a big part in a console's success; are cows ready to conceed then, based on their own logic, that the 360 is the king? Since GTA4 sold far better on the 360 (to the tune of over 60% of the 6 million sold)?

I don't think many honestly expected GTa4 to sell better on PS3 due to the installed base difference. However what is going around is that the attach rate of PS3-GTA will be better, which is true.

We won't know till months if they were right though, as cows predicted a larger increase for hardware over the X360's increase mainly.

There aren't many cows who actually thought that GTA would sell better on PS3.

Considering the ammount of 360's out there I'd say 60% of the sales is nothing to preach about.

You asked if cows were ready to concede that the 360 was king. I said "yes" and proceeded to call the 360 king. I think you failed to read exactly what you wrote... try again, friend.

Considering the installed user base for the PS3 is 13 million, And the user base for the 360 is 19 million. I think the sales are spot on for the two consoles. since the 360 owns 60% of the GTA4 prospective buyers. They got 60% of the buyers.

The Attach rate on the 360 is higher than the ps3 but only by a tiny margin

60% of 6 million is 3.6 million units which is about 19% of the install base of the 360s

40% of 6 million is 2.4million units which is about 18% of the ps3 install base

This is that the 360 and ps3 user base is at 19 and 13 million respectively

cows are the king of excuses. I mean read the article on the front page and you see all the comments are cows crying and doing all kinds of math to prove that GTA4 is selling at the same rate as the 360. Microsoft scored the biggest with GTA4, sorry cows.

60% of 6 million equals 3,600,000

40% of 6 million equals 2,400,000

18.7 million divided by 3,600,000 equals 5.19

12.3 million divided by 2,400,000 equals 5.13

So according to microsofts numbers on GTA4. There is one GTA sold for every 5.19 360s sold and 5.13 ps3s sold. Pretty much equal attach rate. No fanboy wins here. Only gamers do.
