@Pristine: Its probably due to the fact that this is an old Sony franchise since its been on the PS1 and PS2 as well as the PS3 whilst it never came on the 360.

 

RE was born on PS which is fair enough. So how about a game like street fighter IV as well?

The PS3 userbase is older, so perhaps more are familiar with the series or you have your hardcore tekken fans who own the system. Just like hardcore FPS fans buy extra copies of shooters on the 360.

 

 

Since when? Tekken is a lot different from street fighter. I don't think tekken fanatism could sell any significant number of copies of sf4.

From what you said, it would seem that shooter fans are simply more abundant on 360 (at least in europe) while their ps3 counterparts simply prefer buying from other genres. This conclusion makes the most sense to me.

The hardcore BS people have been throwing around regarding 360 software sales hasn't been refutable till now. EU is the best region for SW comparisons since the ps3 and 360 userbases are virtually tied with the edge going to 360

The D-pad is a known quantity, thats about all I can think to justify the difference. As hardcore owners are more prevalent in the first week then perhaps that can explain the difference?

 



Tease.
