Some ps2 heavy hitters might be selling better on the PS3

I was just looking at the game database and comparing games, I compared call of duty 2 for the ps2 and cod4 for the ps3 and the ps3 already outsold the game 2 to 1. Not only that but this was even more suprising:

Ratchet ps3 is selling better than the ps2 ratchet, and even more suprising:

http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Jak+III+-+PS2&reg2=All&game2=Uncharted%3A+Drakes+Fortune+-+PS3&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100

Uncharted is about to outsell jak 3 on the ps2, does this mean that exclsuives on the PS3 will sell much better than there ps2 counter parts? Only time will tell.

A. CoD 4 is the best in the series, and more realistically, the most popular by far, due to word of mouth.  It's not a fair comparison.

 

B. When a system has no good games, the ones available will sell more. That implies that since the PS2 has a zillion great games, the average great game didn't sell as well as it could on a system with a shitty library.

 

In other words, on the PS3, Rachet is a big fish in a little pond, owning all.

 

On the PS2, Rachet is an average sized fish in the ocean, commanding no respect, and getting laughed at by sharks.
