Yes, that's some good piece of data, at first glance I think it includes all first party games that sold at least one million units. The 360 clearly leads here, but that's also due its one year headstart and the PS3 still missing Gran Turismo 5. Those things factored in, I think it's fair to say that both first parties are about equal in terms of sales. |
I would agree with you if you factor in the PSP, but besides that I think the 360 and PS3 are mature enough down their lifespan to make the one-year headstart obsolete.
For example, Gears sold massively even when there were only ~5m 360s in the world. The PS3 has way more than enough userbase to churn out a mainstream game. I agree with you it will be GT5 or God of War 3 that will finally do it, but how long did it take for them to come out, and how much 'selling potential' is the overall franchise for the future as from now? I think MS will put out quality Gears and Halo games on a much faster pace as proven already with ODST and Gears 2 coming out 2 years after the first game. And Gears and Halo are relatively 'younger'.
