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

I believe he is talking about the majority of the time and it is no secret that multiplat games generally sell more on X360.  MSFT is nonexistent in japan so this is doing it without japan pretty much

Saints Row and Splinter Cell have a stronger fanbase on the 360.

Saints Row 1 was and is an 360-exclusive and there was no PS3-version of Splinter Cell: Coviction.

 

Generally, a slightly higher tie ratio for the 360 is hardly surprising. It launched one year before the PS3 (16 month in Europe) and the gap was closed this year. So the 360 had a greater install base for 7 years.
