Why aren't Sony exclusives/software selling anywhere close to Xbox360?

This is pure nonsense. 360 typically sees stronger software sales in Q3 and Q4 to make up for it's marginal loss (3% for 2011) sales during the spring and summer. Also PS3 has seen an exclusive Black Ops Bundle already, what has 360 gotten?

small time bundles like black ops keep happening,they don't matter much

360 typically had stronger software sales,doesn't have or will have.

PS3's price range keeps bringing new consumers so their is room for growth

diverse and more exlcusive range that SONY has formed

 

COD gap between PS3 and 360 sales has been shrinking  big time.

360's replacement consoles leave small room for growth,price also leaves small room for growth,software range is a problemt too.

 

and even last year when PS3 HW sales were lower,PS3 software sales were so good

 

Look at 2010 figures

Console	Yearly (change)	Total (tie ratio)
Wii	184,450,648	(+1%)	628,377,813	(7.62)
X360	136,565,517	(+25%)	446,658,991	(8.86)
PS3	131,078,275	(+37%)	353,640,517	(7.64)
DS	122,323,057	(-16%)	645,707,411	(4.53)
PSP	43,547,344	(+10%)	217,088,163	(3.32)
PS2	17,842,192	(-38%)	n/a
PC	17,658,763	(+102%)	n/a
Total	653,465,796	(+7%)

360 software is actually stronger then PS3 software worldwide.

 

they were barely stronger and if you take into account PS3's growth,they will trump 360

 

 

This diversity arguement is nonsense too. Of the top 10 best selling exclusives 360 has 5 shooters, 1 party game, 2 racing games, 1 RPG, and 1 Sports games.

yeah but where does the majority of the sales contribution come from?

PS3 has 5 shooters, 3 racing games, 1 platformer, 1 Action game. 360 has more diversification is anything, and they both have 5 shooters.

lmao

you seriosly haven't been following the game industry what causes trends and where does the growth come from

The week Black Ops was bundled, PS3 saw a hardware increase of 18% in Americas only. It did not see an increase the week on InFamous 2 or E3, don't tell me Call of Duty bundles don't matter. When the difference is 3% they do. Everything else you said just makes no sense.

THEY DO MATTER BUT JUST SHORT TERM like any other bundles.like the ones 360 got with GTA,HALO,GEARS,etc throughout this gen

stop nitpicking.

Just because 360 has good shooters that sell and except for Uncharted PS3 shooters don't, doesn't mean 360 lack diversification. It just means that shooter fans prefer 360, but the games are still diverse.

not saying 360 lacks diversification,its just that 360 isn't as diverse as PS3 and its sales aren't as spread over.

again stop concentrating on one single detail of what i say.

What trends are you talking about? You claimed PS3 software is higher, yet you were the one ignoring the trend where 360 sells considerably more software in the holidays. 2010 360 software was stronger :P. I proved you wrong and said what I had to say, don't intend on arguing with you further.

sure it does

each console has its times but that is also how much the gap between 360 and PS3 holidays sales was 3 years ago,what was it 2 eyars ago and what was it last year.you can just look at the gaps of COD games.

u didn't prove shit wrong.

i was debating whether 360 sells better on holidays or not,just that the gap is getting small and when we look ta the whole year the 360 doesn't have that much more in the holidays that will compensate the lower sales full year long
