Great find prosugno360.

Silent Hill is in a step decline, Konami should be worried.
I didn't realized that in US Kingdom Hearts is more popular than Final Fantasy.
Rare games bombed really bad.
Ratcher & Clank achieved good sales after a slow start, good sales for LBP too.

When it comes to long-term software sales, VGC seems to overtrack just about everything.

Yea, I think it is assumed more shipments are being made, when they have been stopped for a while.

im wondering... maybe this website just took the sales for just the top 10 per console and just added them.

lbp, resistance2 seem to be spot on which arenewer titles and still in the top 10 but motorstorm is like 1.4 million off and would be out of the top 10 for the longest

Those are just stand alone copies though, PS3 was bundled with Motorstorm for a while in NA. Same applies to any other games that were bundled with a console.

Street Fighter IV - 446k (360), 403k (PS3)
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe - 592k (360), 512k (PS3)
Soul Calibur 4 - 500k (360), 353k (PS3)

Total:

360: 1538k (55%)
PS3: 1268k (45%)

Fighters do pretty well on PS3 considering the installed base difference, probably the #1 platform worldwide. With the series traditionally being a Playstation franchise I think we'll see the PS3 version of Tekken 6 actually outsell the 360 version in US.
