I just don't get it - how can the PS3 be a bigger source of income (= revenue, judging by those charts from Ubisoft that BKK posted) for Ubisoft and Take-Two if multiplatform games generally sell at least 30% more on the X360 (even Ubisoft and Take-Two published MP games sell a lot more on the X360 according to VGC numbers)?
I don't believe publishers get much more revenue from each copy sold in Europe compared to the US, because the reason why European games cost more is the sales tax (on average 20-25%) that's baked into the price - but the tax goes to the government, not to game publishers.
If anything, each PS3 game copy sold should generate less revenue to third party publishers because Sony is claimed to take a higher license fee ($10) than MS ($7.5) from each copy sold (I've never seen this being confirmed though, it might be a myth).
