Well with a population of six times the UK's I'd expect GTA4 to sell six times more in the US. If it sells any less than that then I hope companies look at this and reconsider Europe as a market, because Britain alone seems to buy more that it's fair share of games when compared to the rest of Europe. (I'm still pissed about Brawl).

UK =/= Europe, Xbox360's install base is much larger in UK.

Don't you need to be bombing Iran or something? LOL, premptive strike, yeah because that works, fanboys being the voice of logic and all.

As I said. This is the new "First". Meme be gone!

It's called a pre-emptive strike. Calling them out before they speak may save this page from their taint.

It's not like you need to search hard to find them, but hitting up an 8 comment post with none in it is a little desperate.

@Knight-Zero:

Who doesn't like FPS and GTA? I think that's what these numbers are showing. :)

]]> <![CDATA[UK Gamers Snap Up Nearly 1 Million Copies Of GTA IV First Week]]> You know why I like this report? The numbers are fantastic overall but neither dominated or underperformed enough for fanboys of either console to claim victory or belittle the other.

... oh, who am I kidding. A meteor the size of Australia heading to the Earth wouldn't stop fanboys from arguing anything. *sigh*

]]> <![CDATA[UK Gamers Snap Up Nearly 1 Million Copies Of GTA IV First Week]]> @CreamSodaSlurpee: Maybe they had more 360 copies than ps3? I dont know, only thing i know is that all ps3 pre orders were taken well before day 1 everywhere .So i went to a retail store which doesnt do pre orders 20 minutes after it opened and the guy said they had sold out in those 20 minutes.The guy got on his pc and said that another store in their chain nearby had a few left.So i ran over and bought it.
Funny enough as i went on shopping for the rest of the morning and i passed other people now and then on their phones over hearing them say "yeah its sold out, there`s none left etc". I figured GTA IV is what they were talking about.

These UK numbers (55% vs 45%) fall pretty damn close to those shown by Amazon.com sales. NPD is going to be an interesting time.

I honestly felt the DLC would push the 360 to a much higher percentage but I'm guessing the PS3 just has a higher attach rate for GTA IV.

I also think the question of which version would you pick actually affects a tiny percentage of the userbase.

It's 2:1 in the UK for the 360 over the PS3. Sony has about a million or so and MS has 2 million plus.

Either because the X360 version has DLC or more people bought a PS3 for MGS4/other games.

Rockwallaby

]]> <![CDATA[UK Gamers Snap Up Nearly 1 Million Copies Of GTA IV First Week]]> Wow, despite more PS3s in Europe, atleast in the UK GTA sold 100,000 more on the 360? What's the deal?
