Leading UK supermarket Asda has disclosed surprising figures pertaining to the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto IV, revealing that the PlayStation 3 version is outselling the Xbox 360 version to the tune of three to one. 
Speaking to trade paper MCV, Asda’s head of games Duncan Cross said, “Both titles have generated great interest on the Asda website, with strong pre-orders, and the PS3 version is selling three times that of 360, which is surprising and not in line with what we’d expect.”
While it’s no news that the game is going to sell – with recent reports suggesting it could make $400 million in its first week alone – it’ll come as a surprise that the PlayStation 3 is trumping the Xbox 360 to such an extent. Debbie O’Neill of UK electronic retailer Comet stated that “We have great expectations and believe it is going to be a massive hardware driver – especially on PS3.” [IGN]
