I wonder how much better it would have sold on the PS3; is a better question. I've had mine since launch here in Japan, good game.

This could not be made for the PS3...

Not because ps3 couldn't handle it but becuse Xbox360 has a minimum copies made requirement of 6000 units. Small publishers that don't have a lot of $$ can make a game like this for the 360 and only print 6000 units of their game. PS3's is much higher (not sure exactly howmuch but I've heard 50-100,000)

Therefore a game like this can not be made for the PS3 retail market. It could come on to PSN...but I'm pretty sure Xbox live release would outsell the same game coming out on PSN. It has happened with games like SF2HD and Bionic commando...

That's bull. We have games that were launched on the PS3 to sell 1,000. There were no additional copies available.

Give me an example. Even Microsoft was thinking of changing this policy to 50000 units... but they haven't yet from what I've heard.

This is why a lot of small decs are releasing gams on the 360. Look at Japan and all the shooters that keep coming out there. There are atleast 6 retail SHUMPS available for sale in Japan exclusively on xbox 360.

Here's one.

Well, those sold 10,000+, not 1,000. And when you say they didn't have more copies available, are you referring to the number of copies shipped to retailers or the number of copies that had been pressed?

That said, I don't think it's quite as high as 50,000 minimum, either.

The first one didn't I think. Anything 5k or over is rounded up to 0.01 million.
