I'm not directly comparing MS to Sony so much as Sony to Sony. The only comparison I have made towards MS is the marketing division which MS takes the take no doubt. MS doesn't need many first party titles to sell over 5 mil because they already have two franchises that are 'guaranteed' 5 mil sellers with each release, the ones you posted, Gears and Halo. But that's not the point I'm getting at. What I'm trying to figure out is why Sony just let's these amazing games get not even half the sales they deserve?

Like I said, the PS3 has a problem when not even it's two biggest highly rated FPS's can't even top 4 mil, it's pathetic. They have to build towards a great online community where they ship their PS3's with mics and they have x-game chat and have an online experience unmatched by all, all in one FPS game. This is why Halo is so big today but Sony as a company just doesn't know how to pick up on these things. Sony as a company is so very linear and spend more time catching up then they do inventing, which is too bad because they have IMO the best line-up of 2010 but they won't get the sales they deserve.

The most successful console of all time in a generation where it had little to no competition for third party or 1st party titles sold a grand total of 25 total games over 4 million.

Take a gander at the "first party" titles.

This argument is geting ridiculous with speculation and a false sense of reality in terms of sales numbers by using Halo and Gears as standards.

I'm tellin you.

no no no, not only am I telling YOU but i linked to an interweb site to prove it so there YOU have it.

I mean seriously though, 25 4mill sellers for a 135+mill userbase. Like I said, PlayStation games haven't sold those kinds of numbers in droves, EVER, save for Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo, which could be seen as PlayStation's Gears and Halo.

*high five*

Now im going to go watch Watchmen on Blu-ray because i bought it instead of a Sony first party title since its BD-Live enabled and has online functionality.
