Hahahaha Sony should do the same 9,000 units in there home ground is awful. And maybe sony should worry more about europe being that is the only place doing them any good.

[Infernus]

I learned the hard way with GTA:SA, all my mates had it before me because I didn't preorder and had to wait at least a week before I could get hold of it.

This time will be different however ;D

[wiizy]

Its kind of funny, when you look at the state of xbox360 in Japan. I mean the console sucks big time in Japan. Infact ps3 is doing quite well in North America, compared to xbox360 in Japan. It will also be interesting to see, how the Japanese market impact on GTA4 sales. I am not sure how much popular GTA4 is in Japan but one thing is for sure 90% of people who will be buying GTA4 will be buying it on PS3.

[Perverted]

MKW came out earlier, sold loads, Wii fist on it's way, will sell loads and then GTA4 will come and sell loads.....

The funny thing is their all casual games in my mind...

The only one I cared about is MKW....

Oh and I don't think that Japan or Asia really cares about GTA4...I guess we'll see....
