Fighters, racers, sports games and Japanese games sell better on PS3. Shooters and WRPG's sell worse. I wouldn't say that's because PS3 fans in certain region are much more diverse than the same fans in the same region (though they have somewhat different tastes, like how FF will sell better on PS3 even in America). I'm thinking it's more a case of PS3 sales being more evenly distributed in the world, whereas the X360 is mostly strong in English speaking countries. Fighters and racers are popular in Europe and Japanese games in Japan. I can look for examples if you want. |
I am thinking the same thing (bolded). The world is a diverse place and the more diversity you have the wider the spectrum to encompass more variety of games.
Demographics are a big part of it and with NA being the current biggest sales region the console with the biggest software support (X360) shooters dominate, hence grab the headlines.
I am not sure about american sports games like NBA and NFL but I am sure there are good x360 sales with these games although they can't compete with the shooters... the same way soccer dominates in europe.
