Rpruett said: Top 10 Sellers on PS3.
Only the Top 3 are 'shooters' compared to the 360 in which the top 6 are all shooters. In terms of sales it's not even comparable.
It's not an opinion. It's factually based that North American buyers, buy more software and are more into 'shooter' games than other areas of the world. It's also factually based that the PS3 has far less of a user base in North America than the 360. It's also a fact that even identical games that are multi-platform (Of the shooting genre) almost ALWAYS sell better on the 360 than the PS3.
You were trying to imply Kill Zone 2 was hyped like Halo 3 was and was a lock to be a AAA game? That's so ludicrous is doesn't even deserve a response. While Gears of War was just this trash game that no one knew about that defied all odds. Please. One of the producers of the biggest shooter franchises ever makes a new shooter game exclusively for the Xbox 360 around the holiday season when there is almost no other 'big' quality title out for the system? Sales are somewhat sluggish to start but legs carry it to almost the 6 million mark because it's a fun game that other people enjoy to play. When you factor in other things that benefited Gears of War initial/ original sales it's very easy to see that they are comparable.

60% of both of the top 10 selling games for each platform are shooters, just in varying order and that definitively proves your point, right? HAHA, okay. Your 'factual' analysis can not be denied!
For the record I never said Killzone 2 was hyped like Halo 3, becuase I never mentioned Halo 3. I also never said KZ2 was a lock to be triple A, I said it IS a triple A game (and therefore deserves the sales it gets).
