I don't get it.  If the PS3 is more popular in Europe and Japan, and the PS3 is of equal numbers to the Xbox 360, why do Xbox 360 versions of games sell so much better than PS3 versions?

Why did they and why do they? It's very simple. Back in 2006 Sony released an over priced system which was rushed to the market. Microsoft released their XBOX 360 on November 22, 2005 and Sony released their PS3 on November 11, 2006. The XBOX 360 was much more cheaper then the PS3 at the time and Microsoft supported developers with lots of money because games were advancing graphics and had to use different technology to develop them om PC. The XBOX 360 was easier to program for because it shared similar archetecture as a PC as opposed to PS3 which was more programmed for so in the end the XBOX 360 was the go to console. Not to mention the XBOX 360 had features in the OS that the PS3 wasn't capable of. All in all that pretty much sums it all up.
