PS3 Leading 360 in Australian GTA IV Preorders
Posted 4 months, 1 weeks ago by Veggie Jackson

So you thought it strange that the PS3 version of GTA IV was outselling the 360 version in a British online supermarket?  Well how about a whole continent!

According to an Australian EB Games source, when it comes to preorders, “We are happy to tell you it's neck and neck, but at the moment, PlayStation 3 is currently in the lead.”

EB is Australia’s largest game retailer by a lot.  The Aussies’ second largest game store, GameTraders, is reporting that it’s not even close: two-to-one for the PS3 version. 

All these Bizarro-numbers can only mean one thing: Australians sure love Sony.  Well, maybe two things.  The idea of downloadable content may not be one that Europe and Australia are open to just yet.  We’ll see what America thinks soon enough.  Well, not soon enough, I’m practically counting the seconds until April 29.

I thought Australians were canceling pre-orders in order to order it from outside the country due to the whole OFCL (or something) and censoring of the game?

Add together the Aussie numbers and the Euro numbers and Microsoft is still winning this one by a landslide.
