heavenly sword sold so well due to being bundled and being one of the first ps3 exclusives as others have said.
Comparing it to Enslaved is invalid. Just like Lost Planet(when it was a 360 exclusive) outsold lost planet 2. Lost planet 2 wouldn't have magically sold better had it been exclusive. The original, like heavenly sword, had very little competition compared to what games have to deal with nowadays.
The tekken 6 example is invalid as well. Tekken 6 will reach at least 3.8mil sold lifetime and be one of the best selling tekken titles. Pretty good considering the amount of competition there is between fighting games nowadays and it being considered quite the bad. Being released earlier as a ps3 exclusive wouldn't have magically made it not a bad fight game.
This theory you seem to think exists might ONLY work with extremely niche titles that sell under 500k, where its possible that most of the fans of the game are the type of people that will only buy a game if its exclusive.
