yes the numbers are smaller, but if Halo can sell 11 million (more than 3 million more than COD4), then why can't a 1st party exclusive FPS on PS3 sell 7 million on PS3? COD4 was able to sell 5 million on PS3, why is it that 3rd parties can tap the userbase better than Sony? |
Have you ever considered that it's America that's in love with shooters, and X360 has almost double the amount of consoles sold in America as the PS3 does? Coupled that with rather poor advertising(until very recently), and of course their 1st party shooters aren't going to do that well. COD sells well because it isn't Sony advertising it, and it creates hype by itself simply through word of mouth. Simple as that.
