PS3 GTA IV presales outpace 360 version down under
The Playstation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV is currently outselling the Xbox 360 version according to Gamespot.
When Microsoft announced its multi-million deal with Rockstar for exclusive downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV, many predicted that this would provide a significant incentive for gamers to choose the 360 version of the game over the PlayStation 3 version. But Australian presale figures seem to be telling a different story, with major retailers contacted by GameSpot AU today saying the PS3 version was currently in the lead.
This is great news for Sony and the Playstation family.
The PS3 version was even farther ahead with retailer Gametraders. The company’s national marketing manager Chad Polley said “according to the figures we have at the moment, we’re [pre-]selling two PS3 versions for every one 360 unit.”
To make things better there will be a Playstation 3 and GTA IV bundle coming for Australia which should increase the sales further.
