GTA:IV 360 outsells PS3 2:1

According to the NPD annual software charts for 2008, Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV 360 outsold GTA IV PS3 by nearly 2:1.
The open world action title sold 3.29 million copies on 360 and just 1.89 million on Sony’s console where GTA games have traditionally resided. In fact, last year’s release was the first simultaneous multiplatform release for the franchise.
GTA IV 360 could see a resurgence in sales as platform exclusive DLC, Lost and Damned, becomes available later on this year.

Seems NPD isn't the best indicated or worldwide sales (though we should know EU tastes run different).
According to the earnings call with Take Two the sales of GTAIV have been 'approximately 50/50' when it comes to sales of GTAIV on Xbox 360 vs PS3.
Given sales of 13 million this would put both at approx 6.5 LTD.

That's very interesting. If that is the case, then it highlights just how much more Playstation-friendly Europe (outside the UK) is.
