The 360 userbase isn’t even double the PS3 userbase in the UK… plus the game is generally seen as a Playstation franchise." Yeah, 5:1 was a bit generous, but it didn't crush it like I thought it would. I reckon the analysts will be right about it selling more PS3s than 360s. “Zumi: 5:1 on the 360?

And the PS3 is outselling the 360 fairly consistently of late, so it's probably a bit closer now.

Would be nice to see full European figures for the game, though. Although we won't. So the PS3 version of GTA4 did better on day one than Halo 3 did for the 360. :-D

If PS3 sold 274k copies, then PS3 did well. I expected a thorough thrashing by the 360 version, I thought I'd be about 5:1 to the 360, given the amount of people that own a 360 here, compared to PS3's relatively small numbers. They're pretty impressive PS3 figures, actually. Is that all the difference is? If PS3 sold 274k copies, then PS3 did well.

I wonder what hardware the game shifted though. 50k more for £50m, Gotta hurt.
