As I said in a previous post. PS3 and 360 exclusives sell roughly the same

X360 - Halo 
PS3 - Gran Turismo
X360 - Gears of War
PS3 - Metal Gear Solid
X360 - Forza Motorsport
PS3 - Uncharted
PS3 - LittleBigPlanet
PS3 - God of War
X360 - Fable
X360 - Lef4 4 Dead
PS3 - Killzone

Neither holds a tremendous advantage

But, hypothetically, what if there were multiple Halo games and only one Gran Turismo released this gen?  What if there were multiple Gears of War games and only one Metal Gear Solid?  What if there were three Forzas  and three Uncharteds?  What if there were two LBP's and one God of War compared to two full fledged Fables and two Left 4 Deads?  Would that list look more like: Halo, Halo, Halo, Gran Turismo, Gears, Gears, Gears, Metal Gear Solid.  I didn't look anything up so the order might be wrong (and Splinter Cell would probably fit in there, somewhere) but I have to wonder if the abundance of PS3 lower tier exclusives (ie: inFamous, Ratchet and Clank, Mag) make up the difference.


Well, that would mean 360 software is much higher than PS3. I wasn't trying to say that PS3's total software rival that of the 360's. I wasn't trying to argue that. My post was simply meant to debunk a common mythe that PS3 exclusives are incapable of nearing the sales of X360 exclusives.

The list was just to prove that in terms of selling power, both systems are about equal. I believe the OP & others were referring to selling power of franchises, because many people here have implied that PS3 exclusives can't or don't near the sales of X360 exclusives due to install base, marketing, or whatever reason. That's simply not the case. PS3 exclusives have just as much selling power as the X360s'
