Ben Feder states that Take-Two Interactive won't release any sales figures for GTA IV: The Lost and Damned...
Take-Two Interactive's Director and CEO, Ben Feder, has drawn a line under sales figures for Rockstar's GTA IV: The Lost and Damned game add-on by stating that "We haven't released numbers, and we won't."
Feder made the comments in an interview with Gamespot, although he did note that Take-Two has been "very pleased" with the DLC's performance on Xbox Live. What we don't know is whether that means they're "very pleased" in a money-throwing-party kind of way, or in an at-least-it's-not-riddled-with-glitches way.
So far, all we know about sales figures for GTA IV: The Lost and Damned is that they total more than 323,000 downloads. Microsoft's Director of Product Management for Xbox 360 and Live, Aaron Greenberg, revealed that much after the publication of February NPD figures, when he commented:
"If that content was sold at retail, it would be one of the best sellers across all platforms. It would have outsold Killzone 2," which had totalled 323,000 unit sales at that point, although The Lost and Damned had been on sale for 12 days compared to two days for Killzone 2.
Greenberg also stated that The Lost and Damned was "the most successful game add-on content we've ever launched" at the time, which suggests that its sales must be far in excess of 323,000 (but we'd pretty much assumed that anyway).
Whatever the case, if Take-Two aren't prepared to talk about it then we're probably never going to know whether Microsoft's alleged $50 million was worth it.

lol am i only joined by a few people that actually read about the exclusive DLC ms paid for before the game came out, im sure pc and ps3 owners to ignorent to actually read about microsofts exclusive rights for DLC on the 360 and the amount of money they shelled out for it and yet ps3 and pc owners still dont get it,
here ill make it simple ms payed for exclusive DLC before the games release exclusivly on xbox 360 only if sony had come up with an offer better than ms im sure it would have been 360 and pc owners complaining about DLC but the fact is it was announced months before the games release and you only have your sefs to blame for buying it and expecting DLC that isnt comming out on the ps3/pc.
