Again huge difference in favor of X360 (Crysis 2). It was the same with TDU2, Dragon Age 2, Homefront, Bulletstorm etc. Don't shit me with "because of Killzone 3" again because the game didn't sell THAT good.

Ok, how about this then. TDU2 is a sequel to a game which was previously on the 360. Homefront has been exclusively advertised as a 360 game and even has an official 360 bundle. Dragon Age 2 is the sequel to a game which  ran like garbage on the PS3 and the the PS3 userbase barely has a relationship with Bioware only until recently, mainly because they've been exclusive to Microsoft platforms. Crysis 2 is obvious, the PS3 demo is probably one of the worst I've ever seen and it was pretty much hammered all over the internet for being a shoddy port, that was until the DF analysis came in, but I doubt they have that much influence. 

It's also funny how your implying that multi-platform games always sell better on the 360, but then you ignore Marvel vs Capcom 3 selling better on the PS3 and then ignore the fact that the PS3 audience has had like 10 exclusives to purchase instead of the multi-platform titles. It also doesn't help that GT5 has continued to sell well and Mass Effect 2 released on the PS3 this year. If the PS3 and the 360 audience had an equal amount of money to spend on games a year, then the 360s potential software sales would be split over 18 titles, while the PS3 audiences potential software sales would be split over 32 titles. 

I think thats a better answer than 'Killzone 3 did it'.
