2. God of War, God of War 2, Resistance Fall of Man, Twisted Metal, Socom I and II, The Getaway, Syphon Filter, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Gran Turismo. Some of these they published, but were still first party games as they were exclusive. Specifically Gran Turismo, which was the best selling game last gen even selling more copies world wide than any of the GTA games did (individually).
3. I said, the 360 and PS3 combined were outselling the Wii now as of the PS3 launch in Europe. And will be on a monthly basis. It has nothing to do with the PS2. Did I mention anything about the PS2? No. And I didn't say the PS3 alone would do it either.
2. Aside from Gran Turismo, which has sold over 5 million last generation? None of them. Look at the Dec, Jan, and Feb US top 50 games charts, Dec - 3 Sony (2,717k)/13 Nintendo (7,761k), Jan - 2 Sony (782k)/14 Nintendo (2,724k), Feb - 4 Sony (627k)/16 Nintendo (2,526k). I would agree Sony games are mediocre at best but that is obviously opinion, saying they don't sell terribly well is fact especially given Sony's 100 million unit system.
3. In the NA/JP Jan and Feb the Wii outsold the PS3/360 (1,618k vs 1,294k). It won't in March since the PS3 just sold more in Europe in 3 days than it has in the entire rest of the world over the last 3 months. If Euro PS3 sales track the way they have everywhere else and if Nintendo increases Wii supply the Wii will continue outselling the HD systems. If you're arguing that the HD systems will beat the SD systems you should include the PS2 since like the Wii it's also beating the HD systems. Unless you limited your argument to only next-gen systems but that sort of limits the impact of the point also.
