Wow, DMC 4 has sold 1.23 million on the PS3 V's 1.10 million for X360

A few points to be made in regards to this discussion.

This week would be the fourth week of 360 dominance if it wins which is almost assured given Vesperia and the modest difference in the other regions. No there is no special math to change this. The positions reversed the week of July 20th. Remember all tracking takes places after the week of sales in question. We will be getting the sales for the fourth week over the next couple days while we are actually right now in the fifth week. Here is the link, and god why do I have to show fellow posters this. What the hell happened to common sense did it go into the crawl space to die. I can surely smell something amiss.

I would also like to say that I am not surprised by the sales in the least. I can think of exactly two reasons as to why this happened. The first is that the PS3 had the larger Japanese user base, and the title sold well in Japan. The second is that Lost Odyssey launched a week after DMC 4 launched in North America. Say what you like, but it probably did hurt North American sales. Many consumers were presented with a difficult choice that month.

These two factors account entirely for the difference. The PS3 version in Japan enjoying four times the sales, and the fact that Lost Odyssey undercut sales in North America.
