Ok scrap the vgchartz figures bottom line is ps3 has been outselling 360 in the UK by a significantly wide margin. Chart track can confirm that for you if you want. Msoft logo at the end of a GTA4 commercial isn't going to stop someone who played GTA on ps2 from playing it again on ps3.

chart track officials have said their sales are "neck and neck"

I have news for you; if PS3 sales are neck and neck with 360; then it will never overtake the 360.

sigh number 2
Yea they were neck and neck after the 360 price cut and before GT5 launch. Don't be delusional. PS3 has been outselling 360 in every region this yr and they cut the price to catch up and now the sales are going back down while ps3 sales continue to rise. Long story short yea they will over take the 360 in EU before the end of this yr

Forgive me; but I'd rather wait until we have official figures, rather than relying on your powers of ESP.

1. While Grand Theft Auto wasn't exclusive (was on the PC), people identified with it more because it was on the Playstation and it grew from there.
2. I think M$ is getting desperate. Desperate times call for desperate measures. That's why they're trying to advertise this game and the downloadable content like crazy. But that won't help because of Sony's bundle. You get a PS3 along with the game and probably a D3 controller. That's an attractive deal.
3. I'm getting it for the PS3 but if people feel it'll be better on the 360, then go with it...just don't feel disappointed afterwards.

I'm really skeptical about this being true, considering that I don't think Rockstar has any interest in restricting possible sales on any console. The 360's future DL content is not a big factor in that like some would like to think. It's lauch day, it's ads, and it's system choice, not mysterious DL content in the future. Now, by default the idea is that the 360 version will sell more because of install base, that is obvious. However adding what the PS3 will sell puts the overall game sales through the roof, making it pointless to give any favoristism in ads, no matter how much money MS would try to put up for it.

The thing that is most likely happening is MS is buying SOME exclusive ad air time. Sony in fact, did that for COD4 for a short period. And it will probably be the same with MS. They might get a few days of exclusive ads. I'm not saying it doesn't make a difference, but I think it's something that just isn't that big of deal anyway you slice it. There's really not any point in caring or talking about it any further.
