GTA is always belong to Playstion

I remember when they used to say that about Resident Evil when they went to Gamecube. Then when Resident Evil 4 went to Playstation 2, the Nintendo crowd started saying it belonged to them.

I, on the other hand, sit back and enjoy my Sega Saturn port of RE1, my N64 port of RE2, My PC port of RE3, My Dreamcast CV and my Amiga 64 port of Zero.

Really? I've never run across anyone who thought that, online or in life.


these people exist. i've experienced one of them and he was so stupid even after showing him proof, he didn't believe it. this was back in nov/dec, maybe he believes it now that it is actually out ;p who knows.

I work in a retail outlet in the uk.  EVERYONE wants gta on the 360!!!! We got more copies of gta on the 360 than ps3 and we sold ALOT more without preorders on the 360. the only reason why ps3 started catching up is we sold out of 360 games in the first hour.  the ps3 took the whole day, plus we had stores in the area not selling out.  We still have people coming in all day asking for gta, and with people who have both consoles, there first choice is the xbox.  People HATE the Ps3's Install irritation!

Of course every body that walks in buys the game is interviewed by retail employees and they all give you full details and all mention why they are buying it. Of course all those with a 360 then only buy the PS3 version after the 360 has sold out. Of course they all told you they HATE the install to the HDD. How can they tell you they hate the HDD installation of a game they have never installed to the HDD? They don't know what the install is likely to be at that point. What a load of old pony!!
 The game in Castleford had none left of any when I picked up my pre-order on release at 9.30ish on release day.
 Game is over rated in all honesty. It's good but not as good as quite a few other titles on the 360.
Oh and I would expect the 360 to sell more numbers just by virtue of the numbers of consoles owned

There are a lot more 360's on the market.  So of coarse more 360 versions of the game will sell more.
