Did you even play crackdown or are you just citing some nonsensical anecdotal experience? The first one was superb and definately not a "popcorn" game that only entertained for a day or two.

I don't want to post all of this again. Have a look.

I still have my doubts for the western games that sell better on the PS3 right now. One year old games start selling on PS3 but not on 360 is strange. Especially with such a great difference for the userbase. Western games do not sell in Japan at all, so there is a 8 million gap in the west that only shrinks by 20k / week. So it is not like the PS3 gets a huge boost in the west and destroys the 360. That is not the case. Sure it outsells the 360 but not enough to say the difference in SW sales are from new PS3 owners that pick up old games. The Xbox 360 sees just a little less more new owners in the west.

I don't get why Madden starts selling better on PS3 all of a sudden. The game is basically US only and the PS3 gets outsold by the Xbox 360 in NA every week. The same things happen with the preorders. I don't get why madden 11 has a lot of more preorders in the US on PS3.

And there are no other sources than vgc that tell the same story.NPD reported great sales for Xbox 360 titles like Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Bioshock 2. The few EU numbers we get are mainly from UK and it is the same story there. Forza 3 is still top 12 and a lot of Xbox 360 games sold well.

*note* I don't say Heavy Rain, MAG and God of War did not sell great numbers. They sure did, but a lot of smaller or older titles selling better on PS3 now wihtout any reason is odd to me.

It's actually pretty easy to understand why older titles are selling more lately.

1. The PS3 is selling more period, and unlike previous years, with a better price point,  buyers can actually buy more than one game to go along the new console.

2. We don't get UK chart only, we get PAL chart and the PS3 dominate the 360 in those charts.

3. Pre-orders are just what is, it's not an indication of sales, as Pokemon just showed us.

4. There's really one genre the 360 just dominate the PS3, and even that it's only in the US that happens.

This is golden. badgenome never disappoints.

@OP: Don't see it happening. Even if what you state is true, the holidays would come awfully early this year since Halo Reach is scheduled to release in September.

the ps3 is starting to sell more soft than 360 weekly. I think this is because of piracy. It is hurting 360 a little and DS a lot.

and looking at vgchartz soft numbers and distributed software PS3 and wii soft is clearly undertracked...

i'm not saying vgchartz undestimate wii and ps3 soft this weeks but it did in the past

Looking at december 31 numbers, we can see 60 million and 80 million PS3 and wii games in stores and no x360 games in stores... this makes no sense

It'll be up quite a bit on Alan Wake week because Lost Planet 2 comes out that week, which will give it a pretty big win for that week. It'll also beat it when Dead Rising 2 and Alpha Protocol come out, as I expect those, particularly Dead Rising 2, to outsell their PS3 versions handily.

3. Pokemon is an exception to the rule, not the rule. Weird stuff happens lots of times with those charts, but it's still fairly accurate.

4. No, two genres. FPS and WRPGs all preform significantly better on X360.

PS3 doesn't have piracy, 360 does meaning stronger legs for PS3 in the long run.

Most 360 games seem frontloaded...

GT5 says hello to mr. REACH....but it all depends on what they announce at E3....i mean splinter cell will give the 360 a good bumb, but not any other of its great releases, sad, i know =/
