    PS3 GTAIV Outselling Xbox 360 Version By 3 to 1...

    At, erm, Asda. Still surprising though.

    IGN: PlayStation 3 Grand Theft Auto IV Outselling Xbox 360 Version

    There are more 360s out there than PS3s, and a similar amount of peeps who own one of the two systems will buy the game.

    Maybe a lot of PS3 owners shop at Asda.

    Oh... dare I say it, the 360 is hacked and it's leaked on the web for download whereas the PS3 isn't hence the reason why?

    You can Mod an Xbox so that you can download games for it.

    Not really surprised by this it's asda. The UK supposedly has more PS3 owners. I still think the xbox version will sell the most total copies.

    I thought that PS3 sales were higher than 360 sales in the UK over the past few months, but there are still more 360 owners?

    Coincidentally, there was a discussion at Kotaku the other day about how most PS3 owners in the UK are chavs, so I guess this backs it up.

    In Australia there are also more PS3 GTA4 preorders than 360 GTA4 preorders. So that's Asda and Australia. Weird.

    He was saying that the number of people who have a modded Xbox won't be buying GTA but downloading it instead, Seeing as it's already leaked to the internet.

    How is it tempting?

    Pay twice as much to play a game a few days early?

    Oh, and Norky, lets have 1 thread about video games where nobody says fanboys.

    If you have a point to make, make it. Just saying fanboys means nothing.
