| cmeese47 said: FIfa wins on PS3, Madden barely wins on 360 despite having a 10 million unit lead in NA. Need for Speed wins on PS3. Burnout wins on PS3. Dead Space wins on PS3. Fight Night is essentially a draw. Shooters win on 360 and that isnt a shock consider it is 360 most popular genre and the most popular genre in the US where the 360 has a 10 million unit lead. Was EA foolish in claiming that Sony could win in the UK yep but were they foolish for supporting the PS3 fuck no. |
The difference between sales of Fifa on PS3 and 360 are less than the difference of sales of Madden between 360 and PS3.

Need for Speed as a franchise has actually sold more on the 360 if we include all titles released on both platforms. The only one that has sold better on PS3 is Shift and that can be accounted for by the release of Forza 3 at very close proximity to NFS: Shift.
I'm not taking sides or anything. Just thought I'd clear up some misinformation. Things like total userbase size and time on market of each console can be argued until the cows come home but what matters to EA is the bottom line of total units sold.
