Anybody else notice this?

Left 4 Dead Release Date: November 17, 2008 (410,000)

Resistance 2 Release Date: November 4, 2008 (385,000)

What is going on here? Why would a multiplatform PC-centric 3rd party game that came out 2 weeks later outsell Sony's top exclusive for the holidays? Better Left 4 Dead advertising? I was always under the impression there was much more of that "internet hype" for Resistance and that usually means the games sell better.

L4D has had advertising?  I haven't seen it.
