Star Ocean: The Last Hope sales in Americas
360: 0.24m
PS3: 0.07m (!)
The majority of Star Ocean fans already bought it for the 360. Unless most of the PS3 owners are waiting for SO4 to hit the bargain bin or something.

Why didn't you show the series numbers before it went 360 "Exclusive"?
Star Ocean 3 in Americas - 520k
And as for comparing a game that's been out for over a year, to a game that's been out for 6 weeks - Lol.

Ok fine let's compare Star Ocean 4's first 5 weeks on the 360 and PS3 since figures for the first 5 weeks is all that's available for the PS3.
PS3 version
1- 33,036
2- 13,577
3- 9,242
4- 7,290
5- 6,991
Total (5 weeks) - 70,136
360 version
1- 72,278
2- 26,912
3- 17,625
4- 10,549
5- 8,057
Total for first 5 weeks - 135,421
The 360 version sold more in week 1 than the PS3 version sold in the first 5 weeks... Clearly, many Star Ocean fans were willing to buy a 360 to play the game.
And what does Star Ocean 3 have to do with this? The PS2's install base was bigger than the PS3's and 360's combined. SO4 was also seen as a step down by many fans of the series. The 360 is not at fault for SO4's sales.
