And you're not? You've excluded every avenue that could make the 360 'Win'

I get why you've excluded Kinect Adventures, although I don't agree with it because there are plenty of other games on both lists that have been bundled. But you're excluding SW that released during the PS3's life. that's just not logical and you excluding it kinda shows your intentions with this thread.

And if you're hell bent on making the PS3 win whilst ignoring the facts then it's a pointless thread that needs locking.

Dude I came up with the perameters before I started, how would I know the outcome?  And if you provide me wit hthe exact number of copies were bundled for each one of those games I'll remove those sales, bundles usually account for very few sales relative to LT but in the case of kinect adventures it has never been sold and I'm not excluding SW that released in the ps3s life every game that released after ps3 launch is counted, exact same perameters for both lists

You are excluding SW sold after PS3 released though. Gears 1 released one week before PS3 and sold 900k first week, the remainder of its 5.95 Million were sold during the PS3's lifespan, and you're excluding that. So if Gears had released 1 week later it'd be included in this list? See how silly that looks.

Maybe you added Gears and those other games and 360 came out on top so you decided to take them out, I dunno, but you seem dedicated to penalising the 360 and ignoring common sense.

Like I said before, using the sites numbers, it's a fact the 360 has sold more 1st party SW since the PS3 was released.

Very interesting , we've just had a thread about why PS3 exclusives don't sell as well as 360's , this list clearly shows it's all about the strategies of each company.

Great thread , don't mind the others , they are never satisfied, Seece has just lost Conegamer and he's looking for a replacement

That thread is exactly why I did this, trying to make a clear representation of how their exclusives sell in the same circumstances 


With a few extra adjustments here and there it should be even better

Suggestions? Since you don't seem biased

What they are saying is right , it's fair to count all the sales of Microsoft published games for after the PS3 was released , even if the game itself was launched before the PS3 , you can use VGchartz data , it's time consuming I know , if you don't want to do it just say it for everyone and they will understand .... I hope :p

That's the thing it isn't fair, look at it this way right now MS and Sony both have exactly 4 years 9 months and 14 days worth of games, if I include games released before ps3 that gives MS 5 years 9 months and 9 days worth of games, and Sony 4 years 9 months and 14 days, how is that fair?

What arnt you getting 0_o, it's not giving MS any extra time at all. You're NOT including that extra years worth of sales, only the sales AFTER the PS3 launched, so they both get 4 years 9 months worth of sales.

My mind is made up, you're definitely doing this so PS3 wins.

No however you look at it I'd be including an extra years worth of games

The PS3 launched two days before the Wii does that mean that every PS3 launch game would be excluded if you were to do the same analysis for PS3 vs Wii?



Signature goes here!

It doesn't matter, you're not including its sales for that year so the fact they came out a year earlier is irrelevent. Not to mention (again) Gears of War and Viva Pinata came out 1 week before PS3 launched, so what's the difference between those and PS3 launch games? 1 Week. Ridiculous.

If you're not gonna do a fair comparison don't do one at all, these kinda threads get locked for that reason.

Like I already stated in hindsight I would of included Gears since it's date is so close, so of course not, but counting a full year extra of games is riddcules

Just to clairify, exactly what is the target of this thread. to find out who has sold the most 1st party SW since the PS3 released?
