Very interesting , we've just had a thread about why PS3 exclusives don't sell as well as 360's , this list clearly shows it's all about the strategies of each company.

Great thread , don't mind the others , they are never satisfied, Seece has just lost Conegamer and he's looking for a replacement

That thread is exactly why I did this, trying to make a clear representation of how their exclusives sell in the same circumstances 

You're not though, you're excluding 360 games that have SOLD whilst the PS3 has been available in shops, how is that fair?

With a few extra adjustments here and there it should be even better

Because they released before ps3 thus Sony published no games on ps3 to compete with them, it'd be basically counting games for MS and ignoring ones for Sony released at the same time, how is that fair? If you want to play that card why not included every game released by Sony not just the ones on ps3, we'll see the ps2 games trample the 360 ones,

That reasoning is very poor, you're not disregarding any Sony games, Sony released launch games didn't they? You're only counting the sales for after the PS3 launch, not before, regardless, using the sites numbers the X360 has sold more 1st party SW since the PS3 released.

So the later launch windows gives Sony the excuse? Meh, that argument gets old. I wonder if that's the argument that will take place when the 720 releases before the PS4 as well.

Either way imho Microsoft wins because they had less titles yet sold quite a bit.



It's just that simple.

And you're not? You've excluded every avenue that could make the 360 'Win'

I get why you've excluded Kinect Adventures, although I don't agree with it because there are plenty of other games on both lists that have been bundled. But you're excluding SW that released during the PS3's life. that's just not logical and you excluding it kinda shows your intentions with this thread.

And if you're hell bent on making the PS3 win whilst ignoring the facts then it's a pointless thread that needs locking.



 

The xbox does have the better exlusives if im fair.

Dude I came up with the perameters before I started, how would I know the outcome?  And if you provide me wit hthe exact number of copies were bundled for each one of those games I'll remove those sales, bundles usually account for very few sales relative to LT but in the case of kinect adventures it has never been sold and I'm not excluding SW that released in the ps3s life every game that released after ps3 launch is counted, exact same perameters for both lists

What they are saying is right , it's fair to count all the sales of Microsoft published games for after the PS3 was released , even if the game itself was launched before the PS3 , you can use VGchartz data , it's time consuming I know , if you don't want to do it just say it for everyone and they will understand .... I hope :p
