Standalone Gears 2 will beat Resistance 2 and Fable 2 will beat LBP.

Either of those situations could look reversed because of Sony's huge levels of bundling that has been applied to EVERY SINGLE high selling title on the console except Assassin's Creed and CoD4.

You don't have to say it... you can just put "starcraft's opinion here"

We know you are going to say the 360 exclusives are better then the PS3 exclusives...

Duh

Nope.  Just that without artificial assistance the titles with the more established history and bigger userbase will sell better.

This rebuttal comes courtesy of kamil: 
"If you think so than you are wrong. First Resistance & Motorstorm bundle was introduced in around 5th month of PS3 life in Europe. It didn't last that long and didn't move too many games. Going by VGChartz Resistance didn't sell more than 150k in that timeframe.

The second bundle was introduced with 40GB debut as a fire sale bundle for 60 GB model. Bundle costed 500 euro and was quite successful but didn't last too long as 60GB stock depleted quickly. It didn't sell more than 200k.

You can look how Resistance sold here:

Basically official Resistance bundles didn't contribute more than 10% of Res sales WW."

AT MOST. 

Damn.

Star-pwnt.

Er....right.

As fine and dandy as Final-Fan's post is, it does NOTHING to negate my arguement, which is simply (and clearly stated) that standalone, Gears will beat Resistance, and Fable 2 will beat LBP.

You following me around going "hehehe pawned" doesn't make it so Dmeister.  Try contributing to conversation.

Despite a healthy reluctance to tell someone what he said, your post clearly makes three assertions, not one: 
(1) "Standalone Gears 2 will beat Resistance 2 and Fable 2 will beat LBP." (What you say you said)
(2) "Either of those situations could look reversed" (i.e. R2 and LBP sell more total units than GeoW2 and F2, respectively)
(3) "huge levels of bundling [have] been applied to EVERY SINGLE high selling title on the console except Assassin's Creed and CoD4." (This is the point I rebutted)

Unless you think that less than 10% of a game's sales equals "MASSIVE BUNDLING OMG" then I have successfully proven your third assertion wrong by way of counterexamples.  I didn't think I had to spell out which of your points I was rebutting since my (kamil's) post was only relevant to that one point, but hey, everyone has slow days.
