Well, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but history is not on the PS3 version of Bioshock's side. If previous statistical trends have any meaning, PS3 Bioshock will not sell that incredibly at all.
If we compare multimillion selling multiplatform games (there's a tongue twister for ya), we find the following:
| Title | X360 | PS3 | Ratio |
| Call of Duty IV | 6.04 | 3.23 | 1.87 to 1 |
| Grand Theft Auto IV | 5.13 | 3.61 | 1.42 to 1 |
| Assassin's Creed | 3.74 | 2.66 | 1.41 to 1 |
| Guitar Hero III | 2.98 | 1.28 | 2.33 to 1 |
| Total | 17.9 | 10.8 | 1.66 to 1 |
Bioshock's sales on X360 were by no means spectacular to begin with, having sold 1.79 million up to today, according to VGChartz numbers. If we take the average ratio by which 360 games have outsold PS3 games, then 1.79/1.66=1.08, which means the PS3 game would barely squeak by a million copies. What's disturbing about this data is that all of these games were simultaneous releases of well-publicized games, not year-old ports. For another comparison, we can take a look at Resident Evil 4's sales on wii (1.6 mil) to get a good idea of how the title should sell.
I am not suggesting 2K Games shouldn't go ahead and release this critically acclaimed title on a console that would really appreciate it. I wish the improvements they add make this title worth purchasing for PS3 owners. I just wouldn't expect the game's sales to set the world on fire, that's all.
Make sure the shadow you chase is not the one you cast.
