Hmm right it dosent work that way alot of factors need to be considered. PS2 had a 5X larger userbase than xbox but GTA only sold double what Halo sold, if Xbox had same userbase as PS2 that would mean Halo would have 35 - 40m... WRONG its the end sales that count not, thats a nice stat which shows that more people vs install base are buying it on PS3 because its a plastation franchise and has its userbase as playstation owners. but 360 still outsold it and thats all that matters |
WW Sales
Install base
Xbox360 - 16.96m (63.33%)
PS3 - 9.78m (36.57%)
DMC4
Xbox360 - 399,262 (46.27%)
PS3 - 463,562 (53.73%)
Xbox360 - 2.35% of install base bought dmc4
PS3 - 4.74% of install base bought dmc4
NA - yes, 360 did outsell ps3 version, but WW wise, ps3 sell more copies (outsold x360 version by 64k)
considering that the xbox360 has almost twice the install base of ps3 owners ww. like you said, total sales is what matters and it would seem that the ps3 version did better ww even with the large gap in install base.
so what does this mean? absolutely nothing, CAPCOM would still probably release their games on both platforms to maximize sales and profits. so if your a CAPCOM fan, things seems bright for you which ever system you buy.
and for halo, its almost general perception that xbox was a fps console which is why fps fans bought were the majority of the owners of it. while the ps2 was seen as having plenty of varieties of games which is why more casual gamers addopted it.
