Gamers choose XBox 360 version of GTA IV over PS3 version.

[FromHell440]

Washington (dbTechno) - According to a recent poll conducted by IGN, it appears that more gamers want the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV compared to the PS3 version.

Grand Theft Auto IV is planned to release on April 27th in the U.S. and is at an all-time-high in terms of hype and excitement.

The poll garnered around 18,000 votes and found that 64% voted that they would buy the Xbox 360 version, with only 36% voting for the PS3 version.

The poll question asked, “If you’re buying GTA IV, which platform version will you purchase?”

This is a two-to-one ratio which is a pretty wide margin for Xbox 360 owners to win by to be quite honest.

We will have to wait and see if this poll is representative at all of the final sales numbers at retail when it launches.

Well, it could be due to the fact that there are more XBox 360's out there compared to PS3s...but, maybe the 18,000 people owned both platforms? Not sure...

I own both and I've got it pre-ordered for the 360. I've had the PS3 since December of 06 and I own 2 games - one is a PS exclusive and the other was an original XBox game (Ninja Gaiden).
It's a big (and at the time cheap) Blu-ray player for me, not a gaming console.
What can I say, I love achievements and nothing beats Live! ;)

amen.. brother..

It doesn’t surprise me more people prefer the xbox version over the ps3, in the early launch days of play station 3 so many articles came out that spoke against what a lack of game play experience ps3 offered compared to a xbox 360 console. so it doesn’t surprise me when 2 games are about to come out for both systems and the xbox comes out the winner, although maximus does bring up a good point of xbox owners over playstation 3 owners.

Of all the EB's that I go to for work, about 3/4 of the preorders are on 360, and roughly 1/4 are the special editions.
