Halo 3's Success Due To Lack of Xbox 360 Exclusives

[Reasonable]

So the sony fanboy arguement goes like this...

1.  Halo 3 only did so well due to the lack of quality 360 exclusives... Oh and they all only like FPS anyway..

2.  KZ2 didn't do spectacularly in sales due to the "diverse demographic" and mountains of quality exclusives

Unfortunately analysis makes that vaish in a sea of shit.

The most diverse popular exclusives?... 360 easily.  Top 10 exclusives for both as follows:

	360				PS3
	Game	Genre	Sales		Game	Genre	Sales
	halo3	FPS	9.56		MGS4	TPS	3.92
	Gears	TPS	5.88		RFOM	FPS	3.59
	Gears 2	TPS	4.84		Motorstorm	Driving	3.48
	Forza 2	Driving	3.98		GT5 Pro	Driving	3.01
	Fable 2	RPG	2.72		Uncharted	TPS	2.33
	Left4 Dead	FPS	2.13		LBP	Platform	2.19
	Mass Effect	RPG	2.04		Res 2	FPS	1.58
	Saints Row	SandBox	1.94		Ratchet	Platform	1.47
	PGR4	Driving	1.68		Killzone2	FPS	1.46
	Dead rising	Action	1.65		H Sword	Action	1.36
	TOTAL		36.42		TOTAL		24.39
	FPS	2			FPS	3
	TPS	2			TPS	2
	Driving	2			Driving	2
	RPG	2			RPG	0
	Sandbox	1			Sandbox	0
	Action	1			Action	1
	Platform	0			Platform	1

 

Nice analysis.  You missed one in the PS3 summary table - it should be 2 platform, right?

I'd give up, though.  There are those who clearly don't want to look at facts here.
