Market share/install base of PS2 and PS3 makes that totally different. If PS3 was the #1 selling console this gen then well talk. Damn right its a double standard......cause its more reasonable to compare two games on the same console then comparing games from TWO separate gens. So no, well talk when PS3 gets GOW4 and GT6. 

Again.....the exception to the rule. Doesnt change every example I mentioned...a PS3 game with a PS3 sequel performing lower. 

Your stipulations keep changing, but I still don't think your argument is strong. Sequels tend to sell worse (the 360 & Wii both have examples as well). There's no conspiacy to claim the PS3 isn't a part of such a rule, but your original example (in conjunction to what you said regarding Battlefield 3) isn't one of the examples of sequels selling less - at least, not yet. Therefore, your original comment was unnecessary (i.e. made no sense).

Ah I see what I did. Thanks. My mindset changed from 1st comment until now. Well then I retract my very original comment partly.....because I still think Battlefield 3 will outsell Uncharted 3 based on pre orders alone. But I still stand by my other comments.....even if you and others claim its common practice on every console. Seedier forums would actually give an impression of a PS3 conspiracy regarding their exclusives but I won't get into that. Guess were done here. 

EDIT: I believe this answers your recent post. Still doesn't invalidate the examples I gave after, regardless if it is common practise on every console. I thought at the time of writing that that Uncharted 3 would perform lower then 2 but again, I am a firm believer in exceptions to the rule.
