Pachter: PS3 to Win the GTA IV War

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter thinks the release of Grand Theft Auto IV will drive PlayStation 3 adoption more than Xbox 360 buying, and he’s not alone.

"I think PS3 ‘wins’ this battle," Pachter told Reuters. He said that if sales of Take-Two’s GTA IV come in at the high end of the 9-12.5 million unit estimates during 2008, the game will directly drive sales of two million additional PS3s this year, compared to one million Xbox 360s.
