| Miguel_Zorro said: Two reasons: 1. Borderlands is primarily a North American game, based on sales. It wasn't even released in Japan. Games that are big in the U.S. but not big elsewhere always have a massive sales difference between consoles. (Since the box has a 2-1 advantage on the PS3 in the 'States). Conversely, games that are big in Japan sell better on the PS3 (Street Fighter 4). 2. Borderlands came out within a week of Uncharted 2. I follow the industry, and I hadn't even really heard about Borderlands until just before release. PS3 owners weren't looking at games outside of the Uncharted 2 shadow during that week. I didn't buy Borderlands, but I'll probably pick it up later. I was too busy playing Uncharted 2, followed by Modern Warfare 2 a few weeks later. Borderlands was caught in the middle. To be honest, I wonder if Borderlands would have received more press and sold better if it were released at the start of December. |
Interesting...considering that what's been released this holiday season.
