surprised tomb raider did better on PS3 considering Microsoft was advertising this as an exclusive

Probably because like Resident Evil the franchise already has a huge fan base on the original ps1 games

It means the gap would have been even bigger if it wasn't for the MS heavy bias in the advertising. Sony will pay to have PS3 bias in advertising for FPS, MS will pay to have Xbox360 bias in advertising for action/adventure games. It almost worked with Battlefield 3, considering all FPSs that have sold >5 million on each platform the BF3 PS3/360 gap must be the smallest for any FPS. That means Europe is becomming almost as FPC centric as USA.

Also TR numbers don't include Japan. Not sure if japan digs TR, but whatever the numbers PS3 version will be miles ahead of Xbox360 version there. So alligned launch week will have PS3 a bit further ahead.

Vita is still fragile unless it can pick up better sales at least in Europe, preferably Europe and USA. Same can be said, to a degree for 3DS. But I think with another 3DS price cut some time later this year you'll find people finally upgrading from DS to 3DS in decent numbers across the board. Same should happen with a western PSV price cut, though a smaller effect.

Nice wee start for Naruto. We got ours first day.

That PS3 is still handily above 100K is pretty good.
