Please look at my first post and stop replying to me acting like you are telling me things i didnt already post

Your first post TO ME said multiplats, not Western multiplats.It's not my job to research all of your posts in a thread that aren't even directed towards me.

Still waiting on that list of JRPG's.


Its on the very first page, one of the first comments in this thread.

And off the top of my head FFXIV, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia, etc  Just go look at a list of Japanese games released this year and they add up.  X360 doesnt get these but still has sold more world wide through out the generation which was my entire point.

Those are the biggest ones, and they all sell low numbers. Ni No Kuni = .85m, Tales = .9m., FF = .4m. Just over 2m between them, and you're saying that JRPG exclusives on PS3 add up to over 6m so where is the rest coming from?

And no, the 360 doesn't sell more software worldwide. The only time it sold more worldwide was when its install base was much bigger, which is a meaningless comparison.

I do not think it is a generalization but in my case, I have 2 or 3 games on my PS3. (And I got 2 PS3), the reasons is that I bought them as Bluray players at first. This would explain why you can have as many PS3 than Xbox 360 in the world but less game selling on the PS3. It would at least explain some of it.

Oh I remember those days in 2008? 

I am very confident that the PS3 has been outselling the 360 software for at least 3 years now, as MS don't reveal their software.

Guys, I'm looking at the current software sales, and all of the newest games sell better on the Xbox 360. ALL of them. We're not talking a couple thousand units difference. We're talking almost 50% better in some cases.

Look at the Disney game, even the Wii is selling more units than the PS3.

Mutiplats run better on 360.

Manily due to the cell processer and ram.. this will all change next gen imo and both will run them basically the same. 


PS4 will have the edge in a similar way to that the 360 did to the PS3 on multiplats this gen. PS4 will have the edge in exclusives as well. Microsoft will have the edge with dedicated servers though.

depends on the game

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

because the only good games that Xbox 360 has, are multiplat..

and.. the PS3 has so many good exclusives..

This is not always the case, so I must point out the contradiction in your argument.

I still don't understand why a whole nation decides to ditch titles like Halo,Gears,Forza and XBLA.
To me that's kind of missing a generation right there.
Do they have a unified center of intelligence that's connected to all the gamers? It looks like they have a singular taste for everyone.


You mean like how jrpgs don't sell well in the West?
