Alot of people fail to see several factors here. First off the xbox360 version had the advertisement in the U.S. (I can't speak for Europe), so there is a good chance many saw it as a 360 exclusive, which leads to the second point; the 360 in the U.S. had the FFXIII bundle which the PS3 did not in that region. Also userbase in the U.S. favors the 360 nearly 2 to 1, yet it still sold less. Now for those who want to cling to the whole "well the game wasn't released in japan for the 360!" Nice try but no. the 360 would have needed to sell to nearly the ENTIRE userbase in japan to have numbers remotely close to the PS3. The only game I have seen sell to 1/3 the 360 userbase is Halo series (Halo 1 to my knowledge) and FFXIII is definitely no Halo to that system. Exclusivity in itself would have pushed the game to sell alot more than it did on the PS3 also counting the fact that it's the first FF of this gen (remember how the FF sales trends go). Lets not forget the money spent porting it to the 360, although perhaps M$ did sufficient moneyhatting for that aspect.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
