I was just looking at the second week numbers for FF13 and was surprised at its drop. It seemed like not too long ago many were expecting it to be the best selling game in the series and now it's tracking several hundred thousand behind FF12's sales. It just seems to me that everytime something good happens to the PS3 something bad usually does to put a damper on it (remember when November's NPD numbers came out and put a damper on PS3's sales celebrations?). The same for Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, and other PS3 exclusives in which the sales seem pretty good but are overshadowed by games that have lower Metacritic scores but have sold a lot more.
I'm not trying to troll with this thread (unless reality is trolling the PS3), I'm just making an observation. I guess there is one thing about 2009 for the PS3 that can't be taken away by any other console and that's the amazing scores for two of the PS3's 2009 games which are games of the year in their own right, Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls.
