Sad that people are taking this as an opportunity to criticize the Xbox community, like an extremely niche game like this would have sold boatloads somewhere else.

Heavy Rain was a niche title that PS gamers pushed to almost 3M sold.  And even the less well received Beyond: Two Souls to over 1M.  What's ridiculous is to assume that putting this game on a system who's audience seems to appreciate niche titles more, and who's company of origin actually pushes niche titles even if they don't sell the greatest, would have resulted in similar sales.

Swery's history says otherwise; a niche title as Deadly Premonition sold fairly well on 360 whereas it "flopped" on Ps3, despite having additional content and such.

Well, you are not totally honest there, considering the fact PS3 version released 3 years after 360 version, there was nothing more to expect from a game selling mostly in the Us, most people who wanted the game there already had it

 

But it's a known fact niche games sell better on PS, it's a consequence of being the main platform for japanese games
