PS3 GTA IV Presales Outpace 360 Version in Australia

Last month, we told you about an analyst's forecast that expects the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV to outsell the PS3 edition by a 2-to-1 ratio. But today, news come from the Land Downunder that the PS3 edition of GTA IV was ahead of the Xbox 360 version in terms of pre-sales.

A spokeswoman for EB Games Australia--the largest specialty games retailer in the country--told GameSpot AU that the PS3 version of GTA IV was just ahead of the 360 in terms of presales. "We are happy to tell you it's neck and neck, but at the moment, PlayStation 3 is currently in the lead," EB Games Australia brand and public relations manager Debra McGrath said.

The PS3 version was even farther ahead with retailer Gametraders. The company's national marketing manager Chad Polley said "according to the figures we have at the moment, we're [pre-]selling two PS3 versions for every one 360 unit."
