Buzzard from GameBuzzard.com posted this article a few days…
Studio head Vince Zampella declined to break down sales by the game’s various platforms (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and DS), but he did say that the Xbox 360 edition had been the most successful to date breaking the 10 million mark. Only a handful of games can make that statement and don’t look for COD4 or 5 to make a debut on thw Wii. As Zampella explains “It just doesn’t fit on the Wii, we thought it would be compromised to be on [that] platform.” I agree with Zampella all the way. The target audience for the Wii isn’t even the same as it is for Xbox 360 or PS3 and wouldn’t work.

According to Wikipedia, this is a breakdown on the sale of the initial 7 million 4 units up until January 2008….

In the US, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions sold 1.57 million and 444,000 units, respectively, in November 2007. 1.47 million units of the Xbox 360 version were sold in December 2007. The game sold 331,000 copies for the Xbox 360 and 140,000 copies for the PlayStation 3 in January 2008. The Xbox 360 version was the third best-selling video game of 2007 in the U.S. with 3.04 million units sold, behind Halo 3 which sold 4.82 million units, according to the NPD Group. As of January 2008, Call of Duty 4 has sold more than seven million copies worldwide, and was the best-selling game of 2007.

If you’re one of the few rabid gamers who hasn’t already bought this amazing game that delivers an added depth of multiplayer action providing online fans an all-new community of persistence and customizable gameplay, you should consider the special Game of the Year Edition of Call of Duty 4 which includes a token to download the Variety Map Pack, a series of four new multiplayer maps.

This is sweet !!! Check out this YouTube video review of the new release of Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

I saw this video and had to go out and buy it. This game was really fun to play. It was more fun than I expected. I’m glad I decided to buy it. The online play is really fun too. There is so much to brag about this game, but I’m going to narrow it down and just say, buy it it’s worth the $60. The one thing that actually pissed me off about the game though is that Rockstar claims on the back of the box that it runs in 1080p. It doesn’t. It runs in 640p. You can force it into 1080p mode by disabling lower resolutions on the PS3, but it doesn’t actually look any better.

Yes, it’s true that the character modeling and some of the action moves are a little choppy, but most of the game looks great. Far more interesting, however, is the fact that this is not a video game per se - it borders on an interactive movie. The crime and violence in fuzzy-lit, pastel colored Vice City is practically cartoonish compared to the gritty reality of life in Liberty City in GTA IV.
