tough call but I will have to say it will "not" catch up based on the past data that was just provided. I think this is a changing of the guard so to speak, sales overall between the two (360 and ps3) used to be 2:1 in favor of the 360. Not anymore, it is more like 1:1 or in some case 1:1.5 in the ps3's favor. Some could argue that it has to do with the fact it was a former playstation franchise...but I think it has more to do with how the newer ps3 owners buying habits have contributed to a larger and more healthy purchasing of sony software overall.

 

Last gen, RE seemed like more of a nintendo franchise.

 

True! But the ps2 did get code veronica and both resident evil onlines (horrible garbage) and the late port of resident evil 4.  I guess you are right that it was more "associated" with nintendo, but it started out as a ps1 franchise ie a former playstation franchise.

ps1 was a LONG time ago. People usually judge by what system the main series appeared on last gen. Code Veronica and the online games were spinoffs. I think that RE would be tricky to call but judging by the quality of games that appeared on the GC vs PS2, I'd have to say that it was a nintendo franchise as opposed to something like DMC which was obviously a PS franchise.
