halo and gears of war? what else is there exactly?

wait you quoted Rol someone that doesn't care for 360 or PS3 and told him to keep telling himself that! do you see anything wrong there? 

no to mention Rol's right. MS is a marketing machine that i'd say is only rivaled by apple and not many others. even if Sony and MS had the same install  or Sony had more even 10m more, sertant games would still sell better on 360 cause thats the community.

i agree with your first paragraph in this post but the second is hit or miss. i myself have alot of core friends that own and play 360 more often then not and i own a PS3(360 and wii are more of second thought consoles in my house)becuase thats wht i wanted not becuase some friend of mine was getting one.

i like PSN more then XBL cause its more flexible to me. other then Halo all 360 exclusives sell around the same as PS3s library and i'd bet avatar control you couldn't prove otherwise! 

as a matter of fact GT5 and GEARS2 have sold 6m+ units and GeARS is MS second biggest selling exclusive. multiplatfom is the main driver of the xbox platform and success and thats why MS works so hard at it, but the market has determinded that anyway cause 360 has the larger install base. 

you drive alot of great oints that can't be argued.

calm down dud your get frustrated and thats not good your post seems hostile. its not worth streesing over. i couldn't agree with your point more if i wanted to but i do agree.

i also have to say that the last fable sold 5m+ units (last time i check'd/or was that fable2) and that's pretty popular i'd say. i think you've made your point and it maybe time to move on. 

good luck if you choose to continue but the arguement won't gain ground for either of you.

lol no fable 2 only sold 3 million i think u got it wrong

well it was fable3 that sold 5m. well thats wht peter molyneux said. can you believe he wants fable journey to sell 10m?

i just checked fable only got to around 2 million, lol 10 million is impossible

lol molyneux better keep dreaming

I've got to say a large reason has to be the fact that the chart is American as many here pointed out. Microsoft has kicked Sony's butt in America not as bad as Sony kicked Microsoft's ass in Japan but they still got a butt whooping. Also while Sony releases great games each year their multiplatform titles are no match for Microsofts.

Look at Live as a perfect indicator, gamers prefer Live to PSN despite PSN being free. Alot of North American's want to play their games on X-Box Live the service is viewed by many as superior. I myself have played PSN and Live and I'm willing to pay for Live over free PSN. Their are more gamers playing Live then PSN, less glitches and its all round a better experiance.

Then their is the fact that Sony's exclusive content just isn't as good at targetting North America then Microsoft's is. Resistance 3 a key title you mention, I played it and thought it was God awful. Reviews have been mixed but many agree its just another stereotypical shooter that adds very little to the genre.

Halo ads barely anything new to the genre either. But guess what they were the first game to have vehicular combat in a FPS title, where you could hop in and out of vehicles use their mounted weapons etc...etc.. Halo was also the first real console online first person shooter and this lead to an instant popularity. I mean you can mention Unreal Tournament and stuff but Halo truly pioneered online console gaming and X-Box Live which pioneered online on a games console. DreamCast's online was a joke in comparison!

What did Resistance or even Killzone add to the genre? They looked pretty but other then that what did they do new and ground breaking? What did they do to sweep gamers off their feet?

I think all in all the day Sony gets a larger market share in North America, releases some new ground breaking software, give consumers new ways to play and enjoy their products. Then we will see higher sales figures, its funny that some users here brag on how they only buy Sony first party content seriously others say they only buy Sony exclusives. Whats wrong with the third party games? Do you buy them for your X-Box and if you don't why don't you buy them?

Its extremely fanboyish to narrow your gaming library down to one publisher or exclusives to the console of your choice. Your missing out on the rest the industry has to offer.
