PS3 is pretty good at selling fighting, racing, football and shooter games. In all other genres it quite horribly fails, especially compared to 360 and Wii.

You're forgetting about action/sandbox. And adventure games. And music games (although less than other consoles). And Football games (I wasn't sure if you were talking about Soccer or American Football, I'm referring to the American version).

So unless you're going to include every genre, don't make statements like that.

 

He's making that statement referring to the chart, and if you break down the numbers his basically right on all except the shooters.. unless he's referring to Sandbox shooters...

 

Numbers on the left are 360, numbers on the right are PS3, percentage are ratio for each side

Nice additional chart. I don't know if you can really credit some stats. Even being a x360 guy i know that the rock bad and bioshock numbers are skewed



Thank you Kowenicki

PS3 will need to outsell 360 by:         
             
444,931 per month to catch it by Jan 2011. 102,676 per week.
266,958 per month to catch it by Jan 2012. 61,606 per week.
190,685 per month to catch it by Jan 2013. 44,004 per week.
148,310 per month to catch it by Jan 2014. 34,225 per week.
           
Current rate is:  -18,262 per month    
Avge over last 6 mths          
Negative number means 360 is outselling PS3 by that amount per mth on avge
