By: ManicGamer On: 06:48 May 17th, 2008 Offline	The figures make sense I think. The 360 saturation is much higher (in the way of millions more). The Wii is the BEST selling title with paltry 3rd party titles. Mario Kart Wii is basically the second large anticipated release for that console exclusively this year. The PS3 has a smaller base of users as the system has been out 1 year less than 360 and the obvious price reasons. I think this statistic shows who has more users who like GTA more than it shows which title was better on what system. If you think about it, your console choice does most of the talking when it comes to what games you are going to pick up.. (except for APPLESAUCE NINJA... he has all 3 :-P)
