lol why are they arguing over Bulletstorm vs Killzone 3 both did poorly imo. 48 million users and only .5 million cared enough to buy it. and the same for bulletstorm maybe sony should invest some money into a game that will attract the number of people that Call of Duty does or Gears of war or Halo. Im tired of seeing 3 million copies sold for a exclusive ps3 game. 

That's what I've been saying, that if sony wants to overtake ms in total console sales, they need better exclusives that will actually sell 6 million plus like Halo and Gears.  They have some great games like Uncharted and Infamous, but neither of those have sold enough to be considered serious console movers.

I don't think they need them to outsell 360. Look at the PS2, did it have many exclusives selling more than 6 million besides GT games?

ps2 had the Grand Theft Auto series which sold almost 50 million copies combined.  3, vice city, and san andreas sold over 11 million each.  Also, Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, MGS2, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest 8 went over 5 mil.  GTA San Andreas was also on the Xbox, but nobody bought it on Xbox, less than 2 million sales compared to 19 million sold on ps2, so it was a definitely a system mover on ps2.  All those plus the GT games is why they hammered the xbox.  Xbox only had 2 games sell over 3 million, the first 2 halo games.  You could be right, ps3 might not need huge exclusives, and could possibly end up selling more in the end, but a few 6 mil sellers like the ps2 had would definitely help a lot.
