Hey brendude, I know it's been done before but I figure you can find one more quickly than I can.  Would you mind posting a list of the top 10 or 20 360 games as well as the top 10 or 20 PS3 games?

Sure.

X360:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops - 12.89m
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 12.54m
3. Halo 3 - 11.30m
4. Kinect Adventures - 10.48m
5. Grand Theft Auto 4 - 9.11m
6. Halo: Reach - 8.62m
7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - 8.54m
8. Call of Duty: World at War - 6.64m
9. Gears of War 2 - 6.11m
10. Gears of War - 5.95m

PS3:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops - 10.48m
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 9.24m
3. Grand Theft Auto 4 - 8.21m
4. Gran Turismo 5 - 6.43m
5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - 5.71m
6. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - 5.25m
7. Uncharted 2 - 4.73m
8. Final Fantasy XIII - 4.68m
9. Assassin's Creed 2 - 4.56m
10. Call of Duty: World at War - 4.55m

 

Straight off VGChartz's game database.

Thanks for posting.  Looking at it, it does look like the 360's top 10 is overrun with shooters but really, it just looks like Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears sell so well on the 360 that there's not much room for anything else.  I mean, look at Assassin's Creed.  Both Assassin's Creed 1 (4.99 million) and 2 (4.63 million) outsold the PS3 version.  The reason it didn't make the list is because so many other series sold better.  So, in reality, more 360 owners liked the sandbox series than PS3 owners.  In fact, I'd go as far as to say that every game (except FF13) in those lists that was available on the 360 did better on the 360.

360 fans are a diverse bunch, too.  We don't just buy shooters.  We just want good games, the same as PS3 gamers. (Of course, I'm a PS3 gamer, too!)
