Standalone Gears 2 will beat Resistance 2 and Fable 2 will beat LBP.
Either of those situations could look reversed because of Sony's huge levels of bundling that has been applied to EVERY SINGLE high selling title on the console except Assassin's Creed and CoD4. |
You don't have to say it... you can just put "starcraft's opinion here"
We know you are going to say the 360 exclusives are better then the PS3 exclusives...
Duh

Nope. Just that without artificial assistance the titles with the more established history and bigger userbase will sell better.

Kind of like these bundles?

Australia, March 11, 2007 - If you've been teetering on the edge of indecision over whether or not to drop the dollars on an Xbox 360, Microsoft are hoping to make the choice a little easier. From this Thursday, Australian gamers will be able to pick up an Xbox 360 console and a copy of the severely, painfully excellent Gears of War for AU$699.95.

A Gears bundle in a tiny market from 4 months AFTER the game launched is the equivelant of an at-launch EUROPEAN LBP bundle?
And a limited edition Halo 3 console that DOESNT INCLUDE THE GAME IN THE OFFICIAL VERSION is somehow the equivelant of a Sony endorsed starter pack mandating that every PS3 sold in PAL for a few months included Resistance?

Do I really need to list all of the MS bundles? Is Europe a tiny market? Sony tends to bundle their big games on a limited basis and in select markets. These bundles have very little impact on the overall sales of a game.
