the only thing I know is that Ps3 version will outsell 360 by 2:1


It will slighty favor the Ps3. More like 55/45 split. Not 66/34 like you suggest. Thats huge accomplishment since the split for games in NA are usually like 60/40. and to think. People actually said 360 would outsell ps3 WW.

kingofwale - you still arent listening... take up 600k and I'll take you up in a heart beat. I dont need to revise my numbers since I've bben saying < 500 - 600k the whole time.

lol, so... your new 'revised' number of 600K now??? Funny enough, your first post was 286k, that's more than twice as much. ;)


Regardless. I will take that bet, 600K across 2 platforms in NA first week. You will hear from mein 14 weeks


I never revised my number... ever. It's always been "Under FF12." 600k is above FF12.

Think about this wager logically.

Ps3 is having a harder time selling SW then Ps2 had. If this game was 360 exclusive I'd say that would have a harder time selling the game then if it were Ps3 exclusive... but it isn't exclusive. Its split between 2 consoles that aren't going to be able to sell this game as well as Ps2 could have. and yes... combine ps3 exclusive potential to 360 exclusive potential and it would have been better then the Ps2... but only since this is the type of game 360 owners would go to the ps3 and vice versa for. So basically, it doesn't matter if it would be exclusive or multiplat... it will still sell to the same people and still sell as well as the system with the most selling potential... which is still less then the Ps2.

(If this made sense to anyone else then by all means clearify it... its hard to explain)

Actually... I think I can explain better in hard numbers.

Okay... Ps3 exclusives are having a hard time selling the same type of numbers as ps2 exclusives. Especially in NA. So if the Ps2 game sold 600k then lets say the Ps3 game would sell like... 400k. Now onto the 360. For this type of game its obvious the 360 would have a harder time selling it then the Ps3 would (Example pre-order charts even with the 360 being 9 million ahead). Now... lets sey it would sell like 300k... obviously 400 + 300k > 600k. but this is the type of game that the people who would buy it on the 360 would buy it on the ps3 and vice versa pending exclusitivity... so if the Ps3 would have sold 400k with it being exclusive that means people now don't need to by a ps3 for it... now that 400k is just split between 2 platforms. The multiplat status just cannibilize which the sales from the different platforms... not the total sales of the game.
