Short answer: VGchartz

Long answer, this site continues to insist in software tendencies that were happening in 2008 where the 360 versions of games would kill the PS3s (performance and in sales). Nowadays if you bother to keep up with them, you see that FW sales, for the most part, favor the 360, while the PS3 versions start outseling them after the first weeks of hype...... it happens in 80% of multiplats, wich is normal because the same formulas must being used.

Just so you see how wrong VGChart is... let´s look at Saints row IV. Acording to this site the difference between ps3 and 360 FW sales in Europe was 39k when the difference in UK alone was 38k.....what does that mean?

That means that according to VGChartz SRIV sold outside of the UK, 1k more on the 360 (rest of Europe).........where are talking about 25.5M concoles (Ps3) against 15.5 (360) (these are hardware numbers for europe without UK acording to VGChartz, ofcourse active console numbers are different but IDK them).

But I know, I am still using comon sence, and these guys are using formulas, so even if I am correct these guys have more leverage to the numbers.....

There are more countries available there for you to see, but my point is, there is NO WAY, that the numbers we have for europe are corect (only if sweden is selling crazy amounts of games). And like SRIV there are many others out there, that unfortunatly no one tels the truth about them because no one believes VGchartz actualy want to have acturate data when it come to software tracking. 

And of course MS doesn´t share software total retail numbers, a curious fact when you consider how they like to talk about digital sales.
