sorry I meant to include this.

Everyone talks about the PS3 not being able to sell successful exclusives.
The best game hands down the 360 has, makes everything else on its platform besides ME 1 look like amataur work, look...

Your comparison is flawed for 3 reasons:

Firstly, as other people have said they're 2 different genres. I can see how they're similar in some gameplay aspects but to dismiss the RPG elements of Mass Effect 2 and the platforming on Uncharted 2 is silly.

Secondly, Mass Effect 2 is not exclusive, it released on exactly the same date as the PC version which likely took a solid chunk of the 360 sales. It shocks me how many people fail to realise the impact PC sales have, especially considerring Bioware have almost god-like status with PC gamers (along with Valve and Blizzard).

Thirdly, Mass Effect 2 was released after the holidays unlike Uncharted 2 which had the advantage of the holidays to sell bucket loads.
