why wouldn't they be happy?
they just sold at least 1M units more than they would have if the game was exclusive to Sony's PS3.

Yes and No, Those who bought it for the 360 but owned both consoles, would have had to bought it for the Ps3 if it was still exclusive, It may have even boosted hardward for the Ps3 if it was still exlcusive, but yes overall it did boost, just thought id point that little bit out

Yeah, but that's something you really can't quantify.  We could go back and forth with things like well, lets say 20% of people who bought it on the 360 would have bought it on the PS3 if it were exclusive and then someone else could say but only 10% of 360 owners have PS3's so that number can't be that high and well there are also the collectors that bought the game twice or more because it was multiplayerform! and blah blah blah.  In the end everyone is just making up numbers that they can provide absolutely no proof for.

What we can show is how many it sold on the PS3 and how many it sold on the 360.  As I said above, it sold well more than a million on the 360 which is more than enough to cover most current gen games so they made their money back. 

It was a good decision on theirs and our part (since more people get to play it).  Anyone who says otherwise is just deluding themselves and showing how selfish they are.

ooh don't get me wrong, I'm not going against the decision I was just thinking if it had of remained exlcusive it would have sold slightly more than it did on the ps3, only like another 200k sales or so
