Gamestop: 360 'GTA IV' Outsells PS3 by 2-to-1Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, May 12, 2008 3:48 PM
Gamestop is reporting that 64% of Grand Theft Auto IV sales were the 360 version, while the remaining 36% were the PS3 version. That's a performance of 2-to-1 for the 360 version. Level Up, who received the numbers from Gamestop, notes that this might represent an underperformance for the 360 version due to its larger install base. Destructoid: Gamestop: 360 has 2-1 lead over PS3 in GTA IV's first week sales

Eurogamer Tests 'GTA IV' on PS3 vs. 360Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, May 12, 2008 3:07 PM
Overall, they found that the PlayStation 3 averages a few frames per second less than the 360 version, but suffers from no "torn frames". The PS3 average never got about 30 in their tests, but the 360 didn't break 30 by that much. Of course, my wallet is full of Microsoft's money... so much money! Check it out over at Eurogamer.

Microsoft Claims 40% of New 360 Owners Get 'GTA IV'Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, May 12, 2008 2:11 PM
What does this mean? It means that GTA IV sold Xbox 360's. If Microsoft's data is correct, we could see a huge jump in system sales. It'll also be interesting to see Sony's numbers. Many analysts were predicting strong sales for the PS3 with the release of GTA IV. GamesIndustry.biz: Microsoft: GTA IV has 40 per cent attach rate with new consoles

Rockstar's Houser on Potential EA TakeoverPosted by Brian Leahy - Monday, May 12, 2008 11:59 AM
The article mostly summarizes the release of GTA IV and that it made a boat load of money, but it has an interesting statement from Houser. If EA gets Take-Two, and therefore Rockstar, Houser doesn't foresee seeking approval from EA on content. He intends to operate independently. We wouldn't worry about that, as EA has been extremely hands-off with its recently acquired studios like BioWare and Pandemic. That and they probably aren't itching to mess with a franchise that pulls in as much money as GTA. Wall Street Journal: Studio Is Prize in Takeover Duel (via Joystiq)

Strong Bad Coming To XBL, PSN?Posted by Jonathan Hunt - Monday, May 12, 2008 11:29 AM
Of course, the point and click adventure seems a perfect fit for Nintendo's point and click console. Also, the Homstar Runner universe has always held nostalgiac ties to classic Nintendo gaming. But is Xbox Live or PSN in Strong Bad's future?

MS: Sony Can't Keep PromisesPosted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, May 09, 2008 2:51 PM
Now, keep in mind that this isn't our opinion, but the words of a Microsoft rep, who is defending the XBox 360. Oh, and he also disputes the new sales figures that show that PS3 is outselling the 360 in Europe. We have only one thing to say to all of these accusations... Damn!

'GTA IV' DLC To Be In San Andreas?Posted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, May 09, 2008 1:39 PM
We all know that downloadable content exclusive to the 360 is coming maybe this fall for Grand Theft Auto IV... but what will the content consist of? Maybe, just maybe, it will be set in San Andreas. The DLC is said to consist of entire cities, and if so, San Andreas is a logical choice. There's that, and the below plane ticket a user of the GTA Social Club site found:
Looks like a ticket to San Andreas issued to one Niko Bellic. Hmmm...interesting.

Earlier today, Microsoft claimed that 40% of new 360 owners got GTA IV. We're still waiting on official NPD numbers, but Gamestop has released their sales figures, which should be a good estimate of the real sales.
It seems that just about everyone who has been playing GTA IV the past few weeks has been intrigued by the character that is Niko Bellic. This cynical, sometimes psychotic killer is a welcomed change from the two-dimensional protagonists we're usually treated to in videogames.
Eurogamer has conducted some pretty in-depth tests on the framerates of Grand Theft Auto IV on both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Microsoft is claiming that 40% of consumers that purchased an Xbox 360 during the week of Grand Theft Auto IV's release were sold with a copy of GTA IV.
Folks are jumping the gun out in the internets about what the new Banjo game is going to be, calling it a racer, some with indignation and scorn. But George Kelion, a spokesperson for Rare, the game's developer, says those impressions are incorrect.
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article and interview with Rockstar Games' Sam Houser on Grand Theft Auto IV and EA's potential buyout of Take-Two.
WiiWare is here and aside from finally getting to play some LostWinds, it also means that we're only a month away from exploring the world of Strong Bad and Homestar Runner with the upcoming TellTale title, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
If you want to check out the first gameplay footage of Gears of War 2, it'll be on Xbox Live tonight at 11PM PST.
Aw, snap! Microsoft representative Aaron Greenberg says that Sony has failed to keep their promises as regards the PlayStation 3, failing to deliver the games that were promised prior to the release of the console, failing to deliver the online content they promised, and not having released the revolutionary PlayStation Home that was promised when people bought their PS3's.
Realtime Worlds, a development house that used to be under the Rockstar roof, is now hoping to partner with or sell it's APB (All Points Bulletin) work in order to give the world GTA Online, the rumored MMO that would further expand Rockstar's e-domination.← Previous Page | Next Page →
