I have updated the article with kotaku news, who got confirmation from Rockstar.
"We wrote earlier today of the issues surround the Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, hoping to get a statement from Rockstar Games on the status of either a fix or a replacement plan for those affected. For those not up to speed, the 360 port is reportedly plagued with freezing issues and audio glitches in addition to a less than solid frame rate. Rockstar issued a statement tonight, saying the staff was "devastated" to learn of the issues surrounding the Bully port, something they say didn't come up in the QA process."
I think they need to review the performance of Mad Dog, the company that they outsource the QA of X360 version to.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

NeoGAF
Other thing : There is report of inconsistent framerates and audio drop outs.
Those things may made X360 gamers (who are usually internet savvy, and are members of internet forums) stay away from this game, and decrease the sales.
Disclosure : I am going to start shorting this stock, little by little.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

- Frame rates drops a lot in town. On campus (early part of the game) it's fairly steady.
- Wii version seems to have the best framerate of the three. GameTrailers did a side by side comparison of 360/PS2/Wii. Pay close attention to the scene where he makes out with the fat chick and you'll see what I'm talking about.
- Even though Rockstar said it only affect "older X360), some member report it affect X360 Elite launch unit. No report yet whether it also affect Falcon unit.
- Some member either state that they are going to get the Wii version (instead of X360), or they are delaying their purchase until a patch was released by Rockstar.
Will the above facts significantly increase the Wii version sales ? I don't think it will, especially since there is not many overlap between X360 gamer (mostly hardcore) and Wii gamer (mostly casual).
