1.5 million on 360
1 million on the PS3.

Or something like that, go work it out.

Let the fanboy war begin. :rolleyes:

[Wootzeh]

Well that should shut screamingrage01 up.
In the UK it sold 335,000 units on the 360 and 274,000 for ps3 =]

[Roboevil]

Well that's obviously going to be true as the 360 has more sells than the PS3.

[Neil]

The 360 version has more reason to be bought, with the first "episode" coming in August it makes more sense to get it on the 360 than the PS3

How many episodes are there going to be? Or has that info. not been released?

2 Have been announced so far, might be more, who knows

[benjamin]

i know a few people who got both ps3 and xbox360 and are getting it on the 360 and not ps3.

just a nice comment into the argument as to which console is better etc. etc.

i'll get it, depends when though. maybe end of the month..

[Gnome]

I noticed, i went to asda cus they said they got a batch in today, no 360 in any of the stores only PS3 :(

Need to find somewhere instock/

I was looking online for a PS3 one and I found an Xbox 360 one in stock.
Can't remember what it was though, might have been Zavvi or HMV.

HMV still had copies of the game on release at around... 15:30...

That makes no sense... It just means the game is better on the 360 due to the downloadable content, rather than the console is better. It's like buying more of a certain cheese then saying a certain bread is better.

It was kinda obvious that the Xbox version was going out sell the PS3 version... More consoles.

It's 2 only. Anything else will be on PS3 also. I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking personally. :rolleyes:

I bet if thet were only on the PS3 they would be the best download out.

[Frodo13.]

No...you fail. I don't expect much from any new content tbh. I never buy off the PS Store anyway :rolleyes:

It's not like there is much of a difference anyway, considering the difference between the sale units between the two consoles. Quite poor on MS part actually.

[Neil]

They officially announced 2, they never said they were only making 2, I doubt MS would pay $50mil for 2 downloads to be honest

[GhostFace-]

.5 is a pretty great amount.

[Frodo13.]

.5 is a pretty great amount.


Not when there is a difference of 6 million for consoles. Put it this way, 1 in 5 PS3 owners have GTA4, compared to 1 in 10 of 360 owners.

Where did you get those numbers?

[Frodo13.]

Simple math :)

[Ashley 12344]

Yeah, source please?

[Alan_Carr]

360 sold more cos its more popular, simple.

This is directedat all those who reckon one console is better than the other.

Anyway, this is imply because there are more 360s than PS3s out there.

If you took 1000 PS3 owners and 1000 360 owners then the PS3 would have more sales...

Why did you post that image again? Because I remember you saying to someone who owns a Wii, "Get a real console like a PS3" Wii has way more sales than a PS3 :rolleyes:

You're a fan boy, deal with it.

[c[__]]

Sony can suck my **** thanks.

[lew!]

Lol, I wanna get PS3 Now :P
Ive never really been intrested in the PS3, but really recently (since playing on one) its made me think wow. So ive decided to sell my wii for a ps3, still gotta buy the ps3 though yet :P

So you post an image basically calling him a fanboy, then you take something completely irrelevant "If you took 1000 PS3 owners and 1000 360 owners then the PS3 would have more sales..." and think you made a point - This is NOT the case, it doesn't really matter either, it's just a game, grow up :rolleyes:
You're a pretty big fanboy yourself, trying to defend sony so much because of the "empty" part on that pic is true or something?



If you took all of them then the 360 would have more sales.

Exactly..

[IRBlueMoon]

Now then, looks like you need to do this...
Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Calculator

You need to work on your math. :)

[Moh]

Xbox 360 has been out longer than the PS3, what do you expect?

[GommeInc]

I think he is correct... There are not so many PS3s in the world as there are Xbox 360s. The amount of GTA games sold on both consoles isn't seperated by a big gap. So if there was an equal amount of GTA games sold on both consoles then the PS3 would have more sales. But that is of course the figures are true, rather than based on speculation ;)

Anyway, it's just a game that exists on both consoles. Can't we live with that fact and not have a war of jealousy and arrogance?

No because I said let the fanboy war begin! :(

[Adam$]

Lol at fanboys. There'll be no winner in the console war as new consoles are coming out all the time. It's the same game anyway.

[Jordan3606]

The exclusive DLC makes barely any difference, the fact that the PS3 version sold half a million less is pretty impressive since there are more than 6 million more 360's out there :roll:

The percentage of PS3 owners with GTAIV is much higher than that of the 360 :P

Also, GTAIV has better graphics and Home support on the PS3, so eat that

Post your source/calculations please?

Actually, the 360 has sharper graphics as far as I'm aware, the PS3 a slightly faster frame rate. Both things most normal people wouldn't notice.

Atleast the 360 can handle it's graphics without freezing. Home isn't out yet... Home will be like Habbo... EPIC FAIL. We have Xbox Live. And don't pull the whole 'BUT U DONT NED 2 PAY 4 ONLINE ON PS3' because I'll put out the whole 'Don't be cheap, go out and buy a wireless 360 router and Xbox Live... don't shop in Poundland all your life you tramp'. :rolleyes:

[GommeInc]

And where did the idiotic claim about the PS3 GTA freezing come from? It doesn't and if you're playing the reliability card, the Xbox 360 has more of a chance of over-heating, "RRODing", crashing, the support when this does happen sucks and the repairs they make for Xbox 360s aren't to a sufficient standard in most cases :rolleyes:

And the tramp comment is another idiotic claim. Live is a waste of money when other consoles offer most of these services for free "/ And it's furthermore stupid when the PS3 is a blu-ray player in disguise... I don't see tramps playing high-def consoles that work to a new generation of console gaming "/

And Home is like Habbo correct, because the obvious thing is, you don't have to play it nor do you have to download it...

£40 a year is nothing. Less than a £1 a week. I'm sure people can live with that. Not really the best argument I've heard. Blu-ray isn't really the best thing yet anyway, that and the PS3 is a lower standard Blu-ray to its stand alone counterpart.

Google = GTA IV Forum.

Not link, ALL the complaints are PS3 owners.

[Fez]

I'm sick of this, can we stop talking about which console sold best and just talk about the freckin' game.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but most reviewers preferred the PS3 version due it's higher AA and warmer colours.


Anyway, this whole fanboy thing is stupid.

GTA4 is good on 360 as it has the uber mega DLC
GTA4 is good on PS3 as it has very slightly better gfx if one finds that important and it has home support.

£40 a month = -£1 a week... When were there more than 40 days in a month? It would be £1+ a week and it's still alot for most features you'll find on a Wii or PS3 for free. Home isn't even in the equation, as that is an accessory, not a necessity.

It plays films in high-definition, what more do you want in terms of blu-ray "/ People seem to think it only plays games, rather than DVDs...

Also, if the game freezes in GTA4 (yet to experience this), it's nothing compared to hardware issues which the Xbox 360 is famous for.

Both consoles are crap, yet good at the same time for different reasons. Let's leave it like that, because fanboyism is just a war of arrogance against two items which are good/bad depending on opinion.
