No. Undoubtedly some of the PS3's big exclusives will sell as high as some of the Wii's big exclusives, but that's because on a system with so few exclusives, every good game is a million seller. (This is also known as the "Gamecube Effect.")

But in terms of total software sales? Not a chance.

That's just idiotic. What kind of exclusives? Currently the Wii has several exclusives that even the top selling PS3 game may never touch. Besides, how much did the top selling Gamecube game sell? I'll tell you: 7.08 million. Was that the best it could do against the other systems?

And every good game is a million seller? No...every game that appeals to the demographics of the system is a million seller. There were plenty of good games that were on the Gamecube and failed to reach a million whereas several bad games featuring Mario or Sonic did. What does that tell you? The average PS3 owner likes shooters or racers, which makes sense as the system is popular in Europe.

Plenty of good PS3 games have failed to sell much at all, so again, it boils down to demographics and hype.
