Which will sell better - GTA4 on 360 OR GTA4 on PS3

[Frodo13.]

Simple - which do you think will sell more copies?

I think PS3 personally. Quite a few multi-platforms games have done better on the PS3 and I don't think Microsoft have done enough to spread the message it will also be on 360 (no doubt there will be some who don't know it's now multi-platform) I also don't think the difference in sales matters anymore - PS3 sales are creeping up on 360 sales at a fast rate.

[brandon]

Nice question. I think it will be very close, I couldn't call it.

[Neil]

The sales of the consoles will matter, alot of people like it but I'm sure there are more 360 owners wanting it than PS3 owners, not to mention if someone had the choice between the PS3 version or the 360 version they'd probably go for 360 unless they really hated it for some reason, it's cheaper so more people would go for it, so 360 version will more than likely outsell it at first, PS3 sales may catch up but you never know

[FlyingJesus]

Let's face it, anyone who's bought a PS3 is gonna get it, so it will just depend on how many 360 users want it too

[Minstrels]

Microsoft haven't done enough to show it's on the 360? Last time I checked I could have sworn I downloaded a FREE GTA IV picture pack, desktop theme and trailer videos.

It'll all depend on the amount of consoles out there.

Yea and it's been mentioned on xbox.com like..Alot...I think for the 2nd or 3rd trailer they had the site in a GTA4 skin xD
I don't think they need to do much more

[Technologic]

It'll be close but there are more 360 owners than Ps3 owners...

Also did anybdoy read that article in some magazine (forgot which one) about the downloadable content for PS3? It's been sort of confirmed... it's meant to link in with home. And before anybody has a **** about DLC being 360 exclusive it'll be different content

[Ashley]

I think that it will do better on the PS3.

i think ps3 will outsell int he long run. I know i mainly want a ps3 ujst because of it. I struggle to play on the xbox 360 because im a sony player

[mangle]

360 imo , larger fanbase. More consoles out there , dont see much in it though.

took the words out of my mouth lol.

I know a few PS3 owners that don't like GTA at all, alot of PS3 owners don't like GTA, just because they have a PS3 is don't automatically mean they like GTA games xD

[drama]

when is GTA actually coming out?

[Wootzeh]

April 29th.
And I think 360 version will sell more with DLC and microsoft will probs be running ad campaigns for it, e.g. gTA IV 360s.

[Ashley 12344]

360. DLC will encourage it, or people will think more people will buy it because of that and thus get it for a superior online.

Plus theres more 360s out atm?
Although most people will get this game, PS3 owners and 360 owners I'd expect.

[mangle]

There are only 500 exclusive GTA IV 360's.
They're not for sale so how we're meant to get hold god knows!

If i was on both , i'd get the 360 purely for the online dlc.
They've redone the entire control system
That and I prefer shooting with a trigger , not the R2 button.

[GhostFace-]

maybe Ps3 because they dont have as many good games as 360 so evryone with a ps3 will want it.

R2 on the PS3 is a trigger :P

OH EM GEEE


They switched lock on to L2 O_O. In previous games it was L1. And firing is no long the 'O' button D:

[Frodo13.]

I'm not sure the DLC will sway it tbh, it's only 2 missions afterall and probably have nothing to do with the story. Probably like the epilouge on COD4.

Lol you sure about that?



Moore described downloadable content as "epic episode packs", and not just extra cars or characters. A press release during the conference said that the packs would add "hours of entirely new gameplay" to the game. The official Xbox website states that these episodes will last a minimum of 10 hours.

[Josh-H]

360 because there's been more 360s sold...

[Fez]

I think it'll be close, but in the long term it'll be PS3.

[Frodo13.]

360 because there's been more 360s sold...

That has means nothing. And anyway, the gap between sales isn't as big as it used to be.

[Fez]

About the L2 thing, L2 actually works pretty well in some games (RSV2, Orange Box) and Sony intended the back buttons to be similar to triggers on real guns.

Makes sense.

[Ashley 12344]

But is still existant.

Every 360 owner I know is getting this game. If thats anything to go by, a slight gap in sales will sway it.

Most GTA fans were casual gamers, they won't know anything about next-gen. So when the time comes on April 29th, Microsoft is obviously gonna do ''BUY AN XBOX 360 + GTA IV, SAVE A THOUSAND POUNDS" or something and it's obviously gonna draw the casual gamers in.

But when you say 'GTA' to some of them they say 'PLAYSTATION', I think it's gonna be incredibly close.

That's not true at all, I have about 67 people on my friends list, 65 of them are getting GTA4, I also know 2 others that are getting it but don't have xbox live yet, the GTA forum on xbox.com is full of posts about GTA and fills with more everyday, the 360 version of the game is the 1st and 2nd most pre-ordered game on GAME.co.uk, the PS3 versions are not even listed

[Oleh]

I might buy it for both and do a comparisment (Graphics and gameplay wise)

They're going to be exactly the same, Rockstar said so themselves

[Oleh]

Not graphic wise :P

[Neil]

They are exactly the same, the graphics may look different contrast and sharpness wise but that's it

[Moh]

Well 360 has been out longer, so theres going to be more people who own 360s.

GTA belongs on PS3, so I think its going to be better on PS3.

[Frodo13.]

What ever it is, it will be close - just look at the split on here :)

[Oleh]

360 positivley out sell by a couple of hundred thousand ive heard about every trailer release (on marketplace) and ive seen the ones of tv which i think have xbox on them

[PaulMacC]

360 imo, more owners.
360 is like last gen's PS2, everybody had one

[Minstrels]

Oblivion and Saints Row belong on the 360, don't see us complaining.

GTA Belongs on whatever platform makes most economic sense for Rockstar.

Or whichever platform pays 50 million.....


Joking ;]

360 will take it just because there are are more 360 owners than PS3 owners....

Now if you took say 10,000 PS3 owners and 10,000 360 owners then see how many of them buy GTA4 i reckon it will be close

[mangle]

Or whichever platform pays 50 million.....


Well tbh that makes economic sense for them to follow it!

[Cypher-]

Id say the 360 will sell more, for a few reasons its more appealing as a better and bigger platform with the extensive xboxlive community, plus id say the price would be fractionally cheaper for more xbox users than ps3.

Same price, both 39.99

How so?

[c[__]]

How so?
What he said .

[Moh]

on Amazon, PS3 has been pre ordered more :p

[Ashley 12344]

Although, for expertise and what not I'd take GAME over Amazon. I'd expect them to deal with a higher number of overall game sales.

[c[__]]

Amazon takes too long to deliver.

[Jibbish]

How so?
GTA was originally made for the Playstation consoles, untill MIcrosoft came and used their money

GTA 1 - Release date PC and PlayStation: 1997

Since Microsoft didn't have a console nothing to be released on, GTA has always been multiplatform
