i'm not even gonna say that most console exclusives xbox has can b played on the computer since someone will complain we are talking about console exclusives. but it's true...
the thing is other than halo or shooters most titles released on the xbox tend to be overlooked or have poor sales compared to the same genre on the ps3, namely rpgs and action/adventure games.

Over half the games I just listed can't be played on PC. And RPGs do great on 360 (Oblivion, Fable II, Fallout 3, FFXIII, Mass Effect 1-2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, etc), what are you talking about? I can't think of any huge selling action/adventure titles that did amazingly (unless you count sandbox games like GTA4, Saints Row 1-2, Crackdown, Dead Rising, etc) but besides Uncharted 1-2 and MGS4, the genre's not exactly robust sales wise on PS3 either?

are u kidding me? lost odyssey sold well?? by what standards? and i've heard many people on these forums saying they disapointed in ME2 sales. i guess you can blame piracy for that.
you know those games you said, those exclusives, dont sell as well as halo games because xbox owners in the majority dont care for other genres or for games without online.

How many other new Japanese RPG IPs from new start ups have sold nearly a million worldwide? LO wasn't an enormous hit, but it did pretty well for what it was. Blue Dragon too really, in both cases where the games fell down was Japan (for obvious reasons). I'd say about any no-name JRPG that can clear half a million is doing pretty well these days (and this also includes PS3 stuff like Demon's Souls or Valkyria Chronicles)...
And if Halo is the standard we're going by, then *everything* on PS3 has been pretty bad sales wise. You don;t need to move 10m to be a success...

a game by sakaguchi would've sold at least double what it did on the ps3. saying otherwise would be being in denial. not every new rpg has sakaguchi and nobuo uematsu on the credits do they
even a different kind of rpg such as valkyria chronicles almost reached one million, i doubt sega expected the game to have such long legs, the boost in ps3 sales showed the game selling again. that's pretty good for a completely new franchise that's a strategy rpg

If you want to see how Sakaguchi games do on other platforms, take a long hard look at all his DS bombs (ASH, Away, BDPlus, Awakened Shadow). I do think LO and BD probably would've done better on PS3 overall, but that'd also likely be attributed entirely to Japan (which was an issue for 360, as I mentioned).
Likewise, if you really want to get into the "from developer X" game, then Valkyria was being hyped to hell as the new game from the popular Sakura Taisen team in Japan (and to a lesser extent to the western press as the Skies of Arcadia team). Not as big as coming from the father of FF/Chrono, no, but ST was huge in Japan and considered Sega's most valuable IP next to VF & Sonic when they went multiplatform.
