Peter Dille, Sony's senior vice president: "With the Xbox 360 you've got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive, some don't, and none of them have Blu-Ray, and the HD-DVD will be out of business in a matter of months. Is this a 10 year product? And by the way, it doesn't even work. Do they want to be selling it for 10 years and refurbishing them all for 10 more years? I don't think that's a 10 year product. You could disagree with me, or they could disagree with me, but I'd put t...
One thing to consider is that, for awhile, Gran Turismo 1 was bundled with the PS1, which is naturally going to increase its sales.
Not dissing the GT series, I've loved it since GT2, but bundles will always increase a game's sales subtantially.
Thank you for a ray of light in this otherwise bleak, fanboy-infested thread.
Yeah, Microsoft should mind it's own business.
But then, so should Sony:

Hey, disagreers, care to post why you think a double-standard is okay? Sony can do it but Microsoft shouldn't?
I have absolutely no interest in this one. Call me when Infinity Ward is involved again.
It won't sell because it would lose a lot of what makes GTA4 next-gen: the graphics, the physics, and the multiplayer.
The Wii is underpowered in all of these areas. And this is coming from a Wii OWNER. GTA4 simply should NOT be on the Wii. End of story.
Maybe the Wii could get a Grand Theft Lego game or something.
The sad thing is, there will probably be PS3 vs. 360 comparison videos of this game.
Several questions:
1) Will he knock me out in one hit?
2) Will he be replaced in later versions of Fight Night Round 4 with Mr. Dream?
3) Will Fight Night Round 4 feature Mario has a guest referee?
"Firstly, typing "M$" makes you look like a tool. do you see people on this board writing $ony?"
Yeah, I find it hard to take anyone's opinion seriously if they use "SUPER CLEVAR!!!!!!!11111111" words like "M$".
What makes you a fanboy, instead of just a "fan" as you claim, is that this news has nothing to do with the 360, and yet you insisted on bringing the "360 vs PS3 version" crap into this thread.
If you are secure in your purchase, and aren't a fanboy as you claim, what does it matter what version people have? What drove you to post such an off-topic statement?
@5.7
Not trying to take sides, but GoW came out a year (not two) after the 360 was released.
Maybe by "no glitches" he means "we don't drive over to your house and kick you in the balls."
I thought glitches were part of the charm of GTA since GTA3?
Maybe he should take a different approach and brag about them.
"Glitches in GTA4? Hell yeah! Name another sandbox game where you can swim in the street!"
My only concern is people who have the 20 gig drive. They could have maybe 4 or 5 games at most installed before they ran out of space.
Sure, they could buy a new HD and install it themselves, but not everyone can/wants to do that.
I really don't care about sales figures.
Why? Because it's obvious the PS3 is going to overtake the 360, it's just a matter of time - for the simple reason that the PS3 owns the non-North America market.
The only real question in the console war is if the PS3 will beat the 360 on the 360's home turf. I think in the long-run, yes, but it will take another few years. The PS3's been selling about the same as the 360 on a per-month basis, but keep in mind, it has ...
Except the Star Wars prequels sucked, and GTA4 is incredible.
Everyone who complains about the gunplay is wrong. Simple as that. Gunfights are 5 bazillion times better than any GTA before it. Use cover and free-aim. It's not that hard.
Gunfights take strategy, rather than "run forward and hope you have enough armor/health to survive".
Sure there is.
The excuse is "dumb people will pay for it."
Actually, if any system could be defined that way, it's the Wii.
Love it or hate it, it's significantly different than either the 360 or the PS3. The 360 and PS3 share much of one another's game library, and their controllers/approach to online gaming/etc. are very similar.
That's why people mostly refer to the console war as 360 vs. the PS3. The Wii is off doing its own thing, many of its sales being casuals who may not have otherwise bought ANY system this ge...
