will a ps3 game enter the top 50 sales of all time other than gt5?

It's almost impossible lol. Ps3 gamers are probably the most ununified gamers out there when it comes to game preference. While there are the must-haves for wii and 360, ps3 doesn't seem to have a true "must-have" that the vast majority of its owners agree upon.

360 has gears and halo while wii has the ninty titles.

I wouldn't even say either Xbox has a game that rises to the level of "vast majority think it's a must have". XB's biggest game was Halo 2 and it sold to about 1/3 of the install base. That's a significant minority, not a vast majority. Same with 360 and Halo 3 / Gears, less than 1/3 and 1/6 of the user base respectively.

Best selling Wii game that isn't bundled with 90% of all consoles sold? Wii Play, at 24 million sold (still less than a majority let alone a vast one).

This is really where the tie ration / attach rate stat really comes in handy.

What you have are core franchises associated with each company that sell to the dedicated fans. the PS franchises are GT, GTA and FF. GTA IV didin't quite fire on all cylinders for either system (though combined between 360 and PS3 has achieved excellent sales) in comparison with it's previous PS2 titles. that only leaves FF and GT among the PS franchises that live in the top 50. Therefore it isn't surprising that we haven't seen a PS3 title hit the top 50 when 2 of the 3 PS mainstays haven't showed up (GT5P notwithstanding).

Interesting that despite MGS being much loved it has never reached the stellar sales heights of those main 3 franchises. Makes MGS 4 sales look pretty danmed good actually when the best selling MGS "only" managed 5.59 million.

Dude, 30% attach ratio deserves to be called "must-have". I'm also going by logical reasoning here not completely unreachable statistics. 50% attach ration is such a statistic especially when you consider the fact that many people have had multiple systems but only one copy of the game. The userbase isn't exactly=consoles sold.
