If the Xbox360 is considered technically inferior then Gears 2 is in itself a technical marvel. *BOLD1*
Valve has made some of the most successful FPS games in the history of gaming. Their sales of HL1/2/3 alone exceed 15million. They have fun down to an art form. It explains their success yaknow? *Bold2*
Attach rate is a factor of sales vs consoles in the wild. How can LBP have a higher attach rate and a lower income than R2?!?!? *Bold3*
Reverse that, If valve sells a game for $50 they make $50... Console developers would be lucky to get $30. So one million sales on steam = 2 million through retailers on a console. They could easily sell 1.5million online and another 1.5 million on the Xbox360 so their gross income would most likely exceed everything else on the list by a fair margin. *Bold4*
The best lineup? Shooters - Xbox360 takes the cake here, L4D + Gears 2 vs Socom + R2? No contest. Its Valve + Epic two AAA developers vs two AA developers. If KZ2 is included I would give a slight nod to Sony.
JRPGs - IU + TV + LR = no contest.
WRPGs - Fable 2 + Fallout 3 exclusive content vs what exactly? No contest.
Music games = Small advantage with Rockband timed exclusive... Apart from that its even.
Actiony/GTA type games = No idea... I didn't keep track with games like Infamous etc.
Tease.
