I will post one more thing before I let this whole argument die:
Xbox 360 exclusive FPS franchises:
-Halo -Left 4 Dead
-Uhh......
(and if we're just talking shooters, we could toss in Gears of War)

PS3 Exclusive FPS Franchises:
-Resistance
-Killzone
-M.A,G.
-(and if we're talking shooters, we could arguably toss in Socom and Uncharted)

And that's it. I'm done.

Yea, I'm done too, but I just want to populate that list.

Wow damn, you are right. People here just label 360 due to the mass success of Halo and Gears. Just because Killzone and Resistance aren't as good/popular, doesn't change the demograph.


It does. Demographic is the audience. Even with more no. of fps franchises, we buy less.


Maybe PS3 is just lacking good FPS's, and maybe 360 is lacking good Action Adventure games? I'm sure if Halo was a PS3 exclusive it would still outsell Killzone and Resistance combined x 2. I bet InFamous would match sales on 360 too.

It's not so much of what people buy, it's what developers make. MP games generally sell better on 360 then PS3, regardless of genre. If Sony made more quality FPS's, up to the quality of Halo and Gears, they would sell more. Simple as that.

That's not true. Killzone 2 is a very good fps and its rated 91 at metacritic as well, that's as much as halo reach. Yet it sold around 2 million.

Infamous won't match the sales on the 360, I am sure of it. Crackdown 1 is just like infamous and it sold less. Even when it had the halo 3 beta included in it. Crackdown 2 was bad according to many people, so lets not consider it.

There's prototype, that game has sold similarly on both consoles even when it released alongside infamous.

Halo would probably sell more than Killzone if it was on the PS3 because of brand recognition. That doesn't make the PS3 fans fps centric, and it will probably sell only around 4 million-5 million still very poor for a halo game.

Just replying in your Killzone and Halo meacritic score..

i think Ive read mixed personal reviews on Killzone versus COD's multi-player .. some like it better, some not.. but COD and Halo have an edge over other similar games - They aren't just good games - They have been there longer..Halo was there first ( but its obviously not multi-platform ) .. Xbox Live has been around since 2002  ( a bit after the First Halo game: Halo CE )......but Halo 2 ( 2004 ) was when (console owners*) first started findiing out the craze of how fun & addictive FPS shooters were when playing against a human opponent via the internet - Xbox Live .. (* Yes PC owners have know this much longer, but we're talking about consoles ) .. So in the middle of PS2's life.. 2004... when Halo 2 Launched ...PS2 owners had no universal online option yet.. PSN didnt launch until 2 years later ( late 2006, some places 2007 depending on where you lived in the world ) .. So Halo was building a loyal following on Xbox years before PSN existed... COD started alittle after Halo, but it too began to build a following on Xbox Live.. So the formula for COD's online play was already being tweaked so when PSN came online and PS3 was out the winning formula for COD was ready to go and probably the best overal option of PS3 FPS fans.... so fans keep buying it since more people play it online  they have more freinds that play it together online.. So the hype stays around those games.. If Halo was on PS3 it would sell more then 5 million because it has superb online multiplayer..it would most likely be PS3's  #3 best selling game ( instead of GTA IV ).. possibly even #2 .. unfortunately its not multi-plat.. but it is a great game most FPS fans would enjoy on any console.. As I mentioned millions of people own multiple consoles so its the best of all worlds..
