Just curious, what will the talking points be next year when GTA4 pushes past that 11.6 M, and DMC4 has eclipsed 2.77M?

Also, you may be right that hardcore fans of the series would have bought a PS3 to play FF13, but you're missing the much larger segment of the population that is unwilling to purchase a new console for one game, but would happily pick up the game for the system they already own if it were available.  I will buy FF13 for 360 when it comes out, but would never have even considered picking up a PS3 just to play it.

 

that is IF it pushes past it next year. Have you been to a local GameStop lately? I assure you every gamestop in the US has at least 10 GTAIVs for 360 and at least 5 for PS3 used. My Gamestop has 17 copies for 360 used. If anyone is going to be picking up this game anytime next year it will probably be used. Unfortunately, Developers make no profit off of their game's used sales and they are not counted in the numbers sold.

Even if it did push past it would only be slightly, less then a million new 200k copies from saturation. That would still prove my point, That previously exclusive games sales have outdone or are fairly similar to their MP counterparts. The exscuse of MP games selling better then exclusives is false, if not just an out right lie.

I have come to the conclusion that the number of people who would have bought a PS3 game for FFXIII greatly outnumbers the ones who wont. They will grumble all the way to the store but still will purchase one. Many are just in denial about it, now that they know they dont have to cuz its MP.

And even you would have bought one, you particularly might have waited for PS3 price drop, sales, reviews of how good the game is, then got it.

Side NOTE: Can I ask you something? How much did you pay for your 360 and when? And What accessories did you go out and buy for it?
