I wonder if the number is for Microsoft's Xbox only.

@ required
About 7 million of those were sold on the 360 and about 5.5 million on the PS3. While the PC numbers are unknown, it is unlikely they make up any significant part of that 13 million copies.

joystiq needs to revise this thread so that it gets pulled into http://playstation.joystiq.com/

as it stands they've tagged it as Microsoft only

They've secured an automatic DLC purchase from me.

The Lost and Damned is easily the best $20 I've spent on gaming this year.

likewise. the only thing i have a problem with is that at the end of the episode, you only have around 100-200k$ in your pocket...

i'm loathe to use cheat codes...

xenocidic, you don't like cheat codes? Well, guess what?

There aren't any cheat codes for getting money in GTA IV.

I guess the jokes on... us.

Wait, you mean you can actually do something with your money in Lost and the Damned? In GTA4, I bought every single piece of clothing, every single damn weapon, ever possible apartment and I still had over one million $$$ left.

One reflection, one can only wonder how big Roman's debt was if he's still whining at the point Niko has just about enough money to buy half of Liberty City.

Meh...

GTA: Chinawars is looking to be the freshest take on this series since GTA: III

I can't wait to get back to that style of 1 and 2 with the brand new twist they've implemented with the comic book style graphics on a brand new DSi

GTA IV.
If it was 13 million of L&D, that would be about a 1:1 ratio, which is impossible since the PS3 currently isn't getting the DLC.

just GTA4

i want to know how much L&D has sold.

also ive heard some friends claiming that L&D would be coming to the PS3, any truth to that? i have a 360 as well, and prefer the controller so it doesnt matter to me, but i was just curious as i heard it was (along with one more DLC) exclusive to the 360... not just time exclusive...

It's not PS3 specific, so there wouldn't be PS3 link. There is a XBox link because part of the news is related to the DLC that only the XBox gets.

Kodros, that is a pretty pathetic excuse. The gist/posting is GTA IV sold as of 1/31. It's not a Microsoft Xbox story.

DLC makes so much sense for everyone. Gamers get more great content. Designers and coders get to reuse the old game world. Publishers get $, no used games sales to contend with, and none of that dirty piracy.

People without "reliable broadband" should probably have higher priorities than DLC.

"DLC will be an important part of our business going forward,"

Can't be that important if they're leaving out the 5.5 million PS3 owners of the game.

Nice fanboy response to a non-fanboy observation. My point is that he's telling their investors that DLC is important yet they aren't offering it to almost half of the people that bought the game.

As for the amount MS paid, it was $25 million per episode. I don't think Rockstar would have had trouble exceeding that number with 13 million copies of the game out there.

Can they do a patch soon? New content keeps freezing at certain points. I looked and I'm not the only one suffering from this. Holding off playin till I see one.

The better question would be how many of them are setting on Game Stop/EB/Game Crazy shelves used, waiting to be purchased by someone else. When I traded in my copy of GTAIV, the clerk there mentioned something about having 50 copies of GTAIV on hand used.

I still got $15 for it though... which was nice considering I had bought it at blockbuster (with PGR4 in a 2-for-1 deal) for that price.

The achievement + the mission "holy trinity" features Niko, Johnny and another guy all featured in the one mission (the one with diamonds I think). The next DLC wil likely focus on him and how he is related to that mission and the city.

If they do any further DLC after that episode, I think they'd just expand multiplayer and weapons (or allow the new additions to work in normal GTA IV)

I was actually quite dissapointed with GTA4. Don't get me wrong, it was brilliant the first time through and I was hooked on the MP for a good while.

It just didn't have that "hook" to keep me playing and messing around in the world like San Andreas did. In SA I would spend hours doing nothing, working out, flying planes, parchuting etc etc. Where as GTA4 was very much, "play it through, start it again, get bored, trade in"

My buddies and I 100%'d SA and VC (by far the best!) but once 4 was finished there was always something else we'd prefer to play.

Had this DLC come perhaps 6 months ago I would have been all over it, but now, to me, GTA4 is old news.

Give me a GTA4 Vice City!!! FTW!
