To be honest, its not really that major due to the sequels hitting PS3 day 1 and in cases, (Skyrim PS3 > Oblivion 360) outselling the originals.

What they should have done was what Sony did with GTA on PS2. Get every entry as a timed exclusive. Boom.

1	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	X360	2011	Role-Playing	Bethesda Softworks	3.99	2.41	0.09	0.72	7.22
2	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	PS3	2011	Role-Playing	Bethesda Softworks	1.79	1.85	0.20	0.76	4.60

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

How about considering the fact that Skyrim murdered several million* PS3's, discouraging new buyers. Without that. I imagine the disparity would be similar to most Western RPGs.
