This is a more accurate comparison. An example of it being "tied to the brand".


My point was it didnt really mean much.

Skyrim may have sold more on the 360, but will Bethesda be unhappy with over 4.5 Million units sold on PS3? Oblivion being a timed exclusive to 360 simply didnt matter in the long term, because Skyrim released day 1 on PS3 and went on to sell a LOT of units. Skyrim on PS3 is actually the 2nd best selling retail release Bethesda have had, only being beaten by Skyrim 360 - http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=&publisher=192&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200 - despite the problems that Skyrim PS3 had.

Does an advantage of 2.6 Million units on a game that has sold a combined 14.7 Million units at retail really matter? Does 2.6 Million units really matter in the grand scheme of total software sold?
