I think everyone already knows the answer is yes really. I don't see how anyone can deny Xbox 360 isn't PS3 equal in putting out quality games if not more in some aspects. And people who exclude the NA region is just their way of ignoring facts and the success of a console. Its the biggest market so not to count it is foolish. 360 software sales are pretty close to ps3's in "Others" if thats what you prefer to hear. So yes Very equal.

Not PS3 or 360 software bud, but MS and Sony.  I'll give you a list, try matching it with MS developed/owned/published all 3 things.  All are Sony owned developed published, this gen only to make things fair.

Gran Turismo
God of War
Socom
Uncharted
Killzone
LBP
Mag
Warhawk
Singstar
Motorstorm
Eye pet
MLB The Show

Coming - Modnation, The Last Guardian

More to list, but iam sure its enough. 

Uh you show me a list of sony owned made and published games? So because certain exclusives weren't made by MS that they do not count? Your list doesn't change the fact the games are still there and software and hardware sales have been strong. Sorry bud

US - yes

everywhere else - nowhere close to it.


and XBox has still not done that "something big" that Sony did when they introduced with 3D gaming on PS1.It is still know as another system with great games.

Natal can do it for them but nobody know's

This goes for you and everyone else.........the 360 has greater sales compared to the ps3 excluding Japan.......that means the 360 has better sales in the American region and everywhere else around the world excluding Japan.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Sony have great sales in all regions and have 3 platforms on the market, wheras Microsoft only have 1 platform on the market, that only has great sales in America and a small part of Europe. It has yet to pick up any kind of real momentum in Japan.

All you need to do is take a look at this weeks sales. Without the "Americas", the 360 only sold ~50k in the rest of the world, wheras the PS3 sold ~100k in the rest of the world.

I would say though, that the Xbox brand is now greater than the PS brand in the US, and possibly in the UK.

Sorry for quoting this post again but I was in shock when I saw that MS still hold the lead for the others region......making sony only having the advantage in the Japan region.

I crossed off the ones which sold under a million/haven't released a game over a million in sales. Then I bolded the significant franchises. Now I will italise the important ones. Thats not a really long list. You can't say that Sony has made a significant contribution to their console with 3/4 first party franchises of any note, then somehow imply that its an important different that Microsoft has slightly less.

Rather then erasing ones, by the way Socom C sold much over a million (PSN sales bud) and All the PS3 Singstar releases have sold 2.5 million. 

Why not list MS ? ? ? ? ? ehh what there arent any to list ?

You can't scrap out one of the biggest gaming market...in order for Microsoft to be the same as Sony, it HAS to gain Japan. Don't bring the nationalism thing, cause the same could be said about the X360 in the US. So no, they are not equal to Sony, but they are getting there.

PSN sales don't count. Their list sucks, your list sucks since they both suck you'll have to find something better to argue about.
