Amazing there are 3 X360 and 3 PS3 games in the Top-10.

Also, it's a very good opening for Saints Row 2....Regardless of what anyone is arguing - especially the X360 version (why didn't PS3 open well considering GTAIV?).

According to VGC, Saints Row 1 only managed 650,000 units worldwide in PAL territories. SR2 on the X360 alone is at 10% of that LTD total in just 1 territory - which is great. That'd point to around 150,000 first week in PAL for the X360 version, and maybe 60,000-70,000 for the PS3 version.

So it's likely that SR2 will eclipse SR1 numbers in short order - Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 version rivaled SR1 numbers in PAL territories.

were you seriously expecting the ps3 version to sell close to the 360 version? considering that most ps3 owners would have never played the first vesion, they have no reason to buy this one, especially when they have gta4 and probably like it.

What about X360 owners that never played Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, or other Playstation 2 top-tier titles?

It's no excuse for 'big' games to sell poorly, even on other consoles. Saints Row will hit 2 million copies on the X360 before everything is said and done. It would seem like, to me, that a game that sells that well should have a decent shot at doing good on a non-native platform.
