PS3 software sales rise 410% in April. 

by Sam Fletcher - May 16th, 2008

Thanks mainly to GTA IV, PS3 software sales rose by 410% last month. President of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Jack Tretton commented how the release of GTA IV and Gran Turismo 5: Prolouge dealt a "One-two punch" for Sony. "Clearly, the tremendous legacy of Grand Theft Auto on PlayStation, combined with the blockbuster launch of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue packed a one-two punch with consumers at retail this month," Tretton remarked. Hardware sales still see the PS3 third behind the Xbox360 and untouchable Nintendo Wii, but with only a few thousand units between Sony's and Microsoft's consoles, and MGS4 right around the corner, Tretton stays positive.
