Now, to make this thread even worse: Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit for example already have higher sales than any 360 or PS3 game will ever reach!

Both platforms failed!!! lolololol j/k

OT:
Well, CoD was already a bigger franchise with MW2, so this is not really that surprising. But it doesn't really matter, both franchises sell amazingly well, and Reach being outsold by Black Ops doesn't make its' sales less impressive.

I was playing with the Sony crowd who came here to play with the 360 crowd...

It does raise a pertinent question about Sony's inability to produce a big seller exclusive of their own though.

Diverse demographic doesnt cut it any more... GTA, COD manage it, why cant Sony?

 

Well, besides GT Sony never really had a big selling franchise. The reason is somehow a little mystery to me.
Sony isn't really good at advertising their stuff, they weren't even in the PS1/2 days. They don't do much advertising and when they do it normally doesn't have much mass appeal. That's my guess.

But we also have to think a little about the term "big seller". If we look at God of War for example, it could very well being considered as a big seller because it is the highest selling Hack&Slash game on the market, and GoW3 will very likely sell more than the first one.

In the end Sony's own games are far away from selling bad, their sales are actually very good, but they are not "CoD/Halo - huge" either.
