Why do Xbox 360 games sell so much better than PS3 world-wide?

So PS3 sells more hardware and has JRPG gaming pretty much exclusively while X360 has sold more software regardless and Im not comprehending something? lol ok then.

First of all, it should be pointed out that the PS3 is actually catching up to the 360 in overall software, meaning it sells more on average each week, now that they essentially have the same install base. So far it has sold 54.4m this year, as opposed to 45.7m this year for 360.

The fact that you put a chart of the top selling software which, big surprise, is all Western, and are looking at overall software (which includes the 360's year lead and install base advantage for the vast majority of its life) rather than current trends is very telling of how your comprehension of this issue is.

And as i stated before this is coming from exclusive titles.  Mainly the numerous JRPG games that PS3 gets exclusively.  Even the numerous First party games sony is recieving each year is helping.  Every game that sells 100k helps.  But when it comes to big time multiplat games X360 wins the majority of the time.

Bolded: Big time multiplat games are almost all Western. That's the point. The OP said games, not Western games, which was the entire distinction I was making with my first post.

But let's look at your JRPG argument. Just this year alone so far PS3 exclusives would've had to have sold 9 million more than 360 exclusives just for overall multiplat numbers on both consoles to break even. But you're saying that multiplats overall sell better on the 360, so the PS3 exclusives would obviously have to sell more than that number. Gears of War and God of war entries this year pretty much cancel eachother out, so you have TLOU covering about 3m. I'm curious, what JRPG's this year are those 6m+ sales coming from? Please be specific.
