| adriane23 said: Actually, I believe it has been said for a long time (at least since 2007), as it's been a truth for a long time. Since Microsoft is big in the U.S. and the UK, they have huge front-end sales figures due to these two markets having big holiday seasons. People will see the 360 exlusive or multiplat version of a game and assume it has outsold the PS3 version. They'll then forget that the games are still being sold after they've lost interest/the next new game has come out. We'll then get a thread like this, where some PS3 fan (with maybe too much time on their hands) will search sales figures for old games, pick the ones that eventually caught up to or surpassed their 360 counterpart, and try to disprove the general consensus. There has been a thread similar to this one every year since I came on this site in 2009. In terms of game series that sell more on the PS3, it's quite a bit more than the two you mentioned. The number is still in 360's favor though, especially in the total number of individual multiplat games. Below are a few that I could think of. Series that sell more on the PS3: Street Fighter series, Final Fantasy series, Mortal Kombat series, BlazBlue series, Marvel Vs. Capcom series, Tekken series, Resident Evil series, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series, Devil May Cry Series. Individual games that have sold more on the PS3: Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed 3, Bayonetta (Really???), Soul Calibur V, , Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (Really???), L.A. Noire, Lost Planet 2, Dark Souls. |
Fair enough.
