Sony and Microsoft fight over GTA IV
Both Microsoft and Sony are again acting very mature, stating that sales of Grand Theft Auto IV are biggest on their platform.
It all started with Aaron Greenberg, director of product management for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, stating that according to claims from retailers, the game on Xbox360 was outselling the PS3 version with a ratio of 2 to 1 in the US.
On day one of release, the GTA IV on Xbox360 did outsell the PS3 version 335.000 versus 274.000 in the UK. Figures for the US aren't available yet until NPD releases them, but when asked whether the game's release is pushing hardware sales, Greenberg stated that we'll have to wait until May's figures are released to get a full picture of that:

"What we've heard anecdotally from our retail partners is that the Xbox 360 version of the game is outselling the PS3 version by a margin of two-to-one. That mirrors what we saw with pre-orders, but it continues to hold true at retail, at least for the first couple of days. It's a great sign."
The funny thing is that Sony states Geenberg's statements don't "line up" with what they're hearing from their retailers. And to make things completely hilarious: there are no hard figures available yet for either company (not even for Rockstar themselves) and everyone seems to be going from hearsay.On day one of release, the GTA IV on Xbox360 did outsell the PS3 version 335.000 versus 274.000 in the UK.

"I think we'll have solid performance in April, but I think you might actually see a bigger impact in May."

true true, WII is winning the console war, I dont own a Wii but its the underdog, xbox360 and ps3 fight will never end until they both come up with something unique like the Wii did, or may be they should try to make most of their games exclusive otherwise i dont see any difference between ps3 and xbox360, i got a ps3 and my mate has got an xbox360 so both consoles to me, are similar, they are as bad as each other, the xbox reliability is low and the ps3 is so boring due to a lak of games
The Wii is a toy and shouldn't be compared in sales to the other 2. Its like adding the PC to the fray and saying PC is killing the competition. The wii is very popular in sales but you read of so many and know people who have packed up their Wii's in its box. Games like WiFit help people pull out their Wii's but again thats another fad and you'll find WiiFit packed up away next to the Wii.

Nintendo if they really want, could pump up its production to satisfy demand, but they dont, to keep public interest...you cant get it, you want it its a coveted hot item right now. Its just marketing you numnuts. I worked for a bookstore and grown adults would rush in for the next Harry Potter book for themselves, and I'd say to myself...wow the power of the fad. its the same concept here. Everyone wants one cuz everyone else wants one.
