Uncharted 2 - 5.69m	Halo 3 - 11.57m
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 5.67m	Halo: Reach - 9.12m
LittleBigPlanet - 4.96m	Gears of War 2 - 6.52m

Fun facts:

--> PS3's top 10 contains 7 different franchises, X360's top 10 contains 6 different franchises.

--> X360's 6th highest selling exclusive sold more than PS3's 2nd highest selling exclusive.

--> Both PS3 and X360 have exclusives with the initials GOW3 (aka I can't think of any more interesting facts).

I'm always surprised that some of these exclusives sold as well as they did, the main offenders being Resistance 1 & Fable 3.

Resistance 1 was just an average FPS (and this coming from a big Insomniac fan) that I never saw the appeal of.

Fable 3 was just an average WRPG. Perhaps it played better on 360 than PC or something, but it's far from Lionhead's best work.

I guess the HD market just likes games that I don't see the attraction of!

Anyway, if we're playing this game then Wii Sports > either of these lists, lol.

It only sold 2.23m, which isn't enough to make the list

Fable II should replace Fable III and Forza 2 replace Gears1

You can't play them on PS3 or Wii so it's exclusive. Should LittleBigPlanet get dumped because it's also on PSP? No because you can't play it on Xbox 360 or Wii.

The console "war" is between the consoles, the PC is over in PC land all by itself.

1 it says in the OP 360 exclusive as in exclusive to 360, but two of those games are not exclusive ot 360 so they should be removed and replaced with games that are in fact exclusive to 360. And LBP for PSP is not the same game as LBP for PS3, its funny that in 2012 people are still ignorant to that fact
