PlayStation 3 receives 40% of IV

Published at 4:57 PM PST

In a post on Microsoft's official Gamerscore Blog earlier this week, the Xbox team stated that 60% of all Grand Theft Auto IV sales in the US were for the Xbox 360. It was to be expected, as most promotional material was for the Xbox version, so it was given the look of being superior to the PlayStation 3 version (with the downloadable content and such). However it was a win for the PlayStation 3 also, nabbing up 40% of sales. So overall both consoles did very well from the release of the game, the PlayStation 3 with a boost in console sales and the Xbox with a boost of popularity and Xbox Live users.
