So just to make sure I understand:

Smaller userbase sells a relatively unknown TPS game at 1.36 over two weeks and that is comparable to a lower sales pattern of an extremely hyped, triple A FPS, over a userbase that was what, twice the size?

Really??

There wasn't any insult in what I said to you.   As it pertains to the discussion,  you have very little ground to stand on and you know it.   There isn't much to argue with the 360 and it's shooter centric fanbase. 

It's the same reasoning as to why games like Street Fighter IV and Devil May Cry IV can outsell or sell very close to their 360 counterparts despite a much larger userbase for the 360.    The PS3 userbase is a more well rounded group in terms of purchasing of genres.   Where as the 360 is certainly filled with more shooter, American culture driven genres.

Sorry if it hurts your feelings but it's true.

What are the best selling games on the PS3 right now?  Metal Gear Solid, GTAIV, Resistance, Uncharted, COD4, soon Killzone 2.  All great games, but what do they have in common?  All can be generally classified as shooters.

You want to believe what you say, that is cool.  Does your opinion make it absolutely true?  No.  Don't worry though, no feelings hurt here.
