"I have to say a yes...
Top multiplats sell in fairly equal percentages (considering install bases) on both 360 and PS3 - FPS, Driving, Sports and Fighting titles... they all sell in very good numbers.
Decent exclusives sell in bucket loads on the 360
Decent exclusives seem to underperform on the PS3
I dont buy the pious "diverse demographic" otherwise the multiplats would also suffer.
KZ2, Res 2 and InFamous have suffered partuclarly from this it seems, in the case of KZ2 and Infamous very good games, that were well received critically (clearly) and yet not exactly going gangbusters in sales.
KZ2 sales have stalled at 1.7m way below expectations, even of the level headed sony fans here, and InFamous needs to pick up or could see less than 1m. (of course these figures dont count any bundling that could take place)
Sony are relying on brand power and are letting their excluisive developers down, they need to start marketing these games much better.
Thoughts?"
Well, if you look at games like bioshock (which at the time was a console exclusive) and dead or alive 4, you will see that they didn't do as well in sales compared to other well known titles like halo.
Also, with the playstation 3's high price, you won't see games selling like hotcakes until sony brings the cost down to a price everybody is comfortable with.
