So would you guys say that the big differences between them are that one's big on JRPGs and the other is big on shooters?

Firstly, the only reason the one of them is "big on JRPG's" is because one has a greater presence in Japan. Even then, things really aren't as "big" as you make them out to be.

Secondly, the only reason one of them is "big on shooters" is because one has a greater presence in the US. Even then, things really aren't as "big" as you make them out to be.

Having a bigger userbase in a region can't be used for the userbase having different buying habits.

In the case of JRPG's - I point you towards Star Ocean 4, where the 360 version has blown away the PS3 version.

In the case of shooters - I point you to "Others" (Where PS3 and 360 are currently within 20k units of eachother) sales of Modern Warfare 2 between the PS3 and the 360.

So we can't use different region figures

but we can use different region figures

Now I'm confused
