My favorite myth is the one that PS3 has no good games to be worth buying the system.  That myth is all but gone now atleast ;) !

Oh yeah, I'd rather play Gears and Halo than any of those.

But for what its worth... those are the tolerable Japanese games. You can tell because they sold well in the west.

Tolerable? Ok....I guess we will just have to agree to disagree...You can go play your generic gorefests!

And half of those games on the list that you've mentioned have either a) Already came out on 360, b) Coming out on 360, the other half are restricted by the fact that they develop primarily for Sony.. You go off to name a whole range of different games yet fail to mention the great exclusives that 360 offers too, Fable, Mass Effect series(Which are now coming to PS3)  to name a few..

Pah double post.

i say virtual tie, but Japan has been very nice to PS3 this yr and i think GT5 will have PS3 leading or keep it a virtual tie! 

Japan has never been keen on XBox to begin with, but they have warmed up to it more with the Xbox 360, then they did with the original XBox. For people who don't know, the original XBox sold just over 500K in Japan. The XBox 360 will most likely break 1.5 million in Japan. That's the most any American produced game console has sold in the land of the rising sun. Microsoft has done a decent job, but they still have a LOT of work to do for next generation. I still think they need to purchase some Japanese develoepers and release a LOT of JRPG's  (at least 2-3 a month exclusively) on their next Xbox system. GT5 should do well, but it's not going to sell anywhere near what GT3 sold. It should easily sell 1 million worldwide it's first week. But after all the hardcore fans get it, it'll be downhill from then on. GT5 Pologue sold almost 4 million, but that was mainly because rabid fans got tired of waiting for the full version of the game. Those same 4 million gamers will get GT5, plus a couple million more over it's lifetime.

Puggsly my ugly friend, nobody cares if you don't understand somebody else's culture of games. But you are right, if only Japan was as perfect as the rest of us.

I was talking about japanese games vs American.  Don't be too much of a fanboy!  Look I already have ME1&2 on the PC (It is better than on 360), so the fact that it is coming to PS3 doesn't really excite me that much if at all.  I'm not saying Japan>America, I'm saying both countries make great games and that some of the most highly regarded titles are Japanse;thus it's stupid to insult Japan's ability to make games!

It's not true... a lot of games are undertracked or with no sales in PS3... 360 is always more accurate in VGC.

And Microsoft said last time that attch rate was 8.8 for 360 and Sony 8.1 for PS3... so why VGC put 9.01 for 360 and 7.06 for PS3.

OP. 360's favor in Americas.
