that really isnt a balanced comparison.

The 360 was the only console out when Oblivian was released and there is the difference in market share when Marvel was released. I'm almost sure if both were released now they would sell pretty evenly.

If a company is looking to sell a game that is styled more for a Western audience, do you think they are going to look at sales of JRPGs, or WRPGs?

I mean, look at SE's decision about XIII: VGC-ers (mainly Sony fans) constantly bash JRPG sales on the X360. So if SE was motivated by something else what would it be? Western RPG sales, most likely.

And if you feel the comparison is invalid, in 2 and 1/2 months, Fallout 3 will be on the market. if the Xbox 360 version outsells it, then we'll know what system sells WRPGs better :)

 

im sorry but all of your topics are ...just flawed... you compared completely different install bases and a port of a game and expect it to sell well or as good as the 360 version?

All games that are for english speaking people are gonna sell good on xbox because of the install base and thats the only reason.

But what you fail to metion is the ps3 has sold more units and at a faster pace then 360 (hardware) this year and there are no signs of slowing down... by time any of these ff games are released the install base for both will be much closer. Then we can compare a game like ff13 and sales on ps3 and 360. That year head start for 360 is what makes games like elder scroll sell more (plus the ps3 was not even out when that game dropped).

Just flawed.....

What you need to compare is GTA4... and what the ps3 is 1 million behind 360 with a 5 million lead on ps3? thats just not good and if the install base were closer then ps3 would be pushing much more software.

 

That shows a complete lack of understanding of how install bases work.  Sales don't increase exponentially with install base.
