The following is a chart comparing sales of multiplatform software between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. In order to narrow the data down I only included games that scored at least a 85 on metacritic for both systems. The sales numbers were taken from VGchartz as of June 30th 2009.  I'd like to thank "dbot" for the insperation.

Numbers fo "Skate" could not be factored in due to lack of sales for the PS3 numbers from VGchartz. *= brought to system at later date

I would to stress that i did not skew these numbers in any way. These are straight up Statistics. Don't like the facts, then don't read it.
