Well okay i rounded for agruements sake, but it was close.

FF XIII PS3 - 4,699,608

FF XIII 360 - 1,822,921

1,822,921 divided by 4,699,608 * 100 = 38.78%.

Which is like i said, close to 40%...

These numbers are way overtracked... Square shipped just 6.2 million.

OP. The next shipment numbers for 360 and PS3 will be interesting.

Agreed.  I really don't question 360's numbers, as I'm sure Gears will have boosted its shipped numbers.  However, I just find it kinda hard to believe that the PS3 looks to be dropping as fast, if not faster, than the Wii after its price cut.  Not only is the Wii reaching saturation point and usually performs better during the holidays, but more importantly, price has never been an issue with the Wii.  I mean it launched at the same price the PS3 just dropped to after 5 years.  And now, you can get the whole system for the same price as the Kinect add-on for the 360.

Wish there was a special edition Uncharted PS3 not just a bundle. =(

Also Resistance 3 sales = Sony should bundle this game too!


Japan gets to have all the fun. From left to right, then bottom: Ni No Kuni Magical Edition, Lightning Edition Ver 2, Tales of Xilla X. Lovely Blu-ray players all.

Amazing Gears 3. Makes you think why Epic doesn't go multiplatform.......Gears could easily reach Call of Duty sales(20million+) if it was also on PS3. Is Microsoft paying Epic an amount equal to 8 million game copies sold? If not I suggest Epic rethink this exclusive thing.

Anyway these amazing Gears 3 boost gets me thinking about how the PS3 has no system seller. I hope for next-gen Sony focuses on quality over quantity. Sure having a ton of exclusives is a great bullet point but most gamers don't have enough time or money to buy all of them or end up getting them used at Gamestop.

So 360 version sells 8 million, you think it'd sell 12 million on PS3? lol. It wouldn't even sell 6 mill on PS3, certain franchises are just ingrained to certain userbases. Gears could reach 4 mill maybe 5 on PS3.

And we have no idea what MS/Epic relationship is, I'm sure Epic get something out of it.


While i respect your opinion and status on this site. Your really not in a position to say Gears would sell X amount on PS3. Truth is none of us know what kind of sales a Gears game could do on PS3 because there is yet to be one.  It could do 6 million or it could flop and not sell 1 million who knows.

As far as franchises being ingrained to certain user bases. Resident Evil is more ingrained on the PS3 side imo, but it still sold 3M on 360. FF 13 sold close to 40% on 360 for a first time main FF title (XI doesn't count)   I know KZ and Resistance don't sell alot for a AAA shooter, but PS3 has alot of shooter fans both in FPS and TPS. Hell it's most hyped game this year is a TPS.  CoD didn't start off selling 20M right off the bat, it took time for the series to grow. The same thing can happen with Gears. With every new entry, it would get more hype and might eventually get to CoD status and if that's the case, the PS3 would play an important part of that.   That's why I agree with VGKing..

It's pretty easy to know what kind of numbers it would do on PS3. Any ports would struggle to reach 1.5 mill, any simultanious releases would go vastly in 360's favour.

XIII did not sell close to 40% on 360!! Dunno what figures you're looking at. Gears has had 2 sequels to grow now and this will be the first one that will show modest growth, it won't ever get as big as COD. Neither will halo, they're both near their ceiling.


Well okay i rounded for agruements sake, but it was close.

FF XIII PS3 - 4,699,608

FF XIII 360 - 1,822,921

1,822,921 divided by 4,699,608 * 100 = 38.78%.

Which is like i said, close to 40%...

Fail....

4,699,608 + 1,822,921 = 6,522,529

1,822,921 divided by 6,522,529 * 100 = 27.9%

That is pretty basic stuff there

What are you talking about? Sony already has those things you just mentioned. They have a hardcore TPS in Uncharted. They tried to counter Halo with Killzone and some people also claimed Resistance was aimed at Halo as well. As for an exclusive Modern FPS they have SOCOM. The difference is Sony doesn't market their games the same way. It seems it's a gift and a curse having tons of exclusives. They don't seem to get the marketing push they all deserve. Uncharted doesn't really need it though as that game sells itself.

Ironically, this might be the prevailing logic at SCEA, and it's not working. Look at Uncharted 3's preorders.

So; can we expect a slight boost to Gears 1/2 as well?

your all a bit overeacting.... it is the first major exclusive this year


It has nothing to do with its sales. PSfanboys should understand it by now. NORMAL people don't give a shit about game being exclusive - only PSfanboys who scream on the forums and in the end it comes to that one Gears of War 3 in a month will sell almost the same as all previous PS3 exclusives this year combined.

 

Face the reality son. Gears of War 3 is massive because it's an amazing game.

lol @ calling me a fanboy when i have all 3 consoles and im sorry but every ps3 this year combined will be outsold by gears? i cant wait to see your face when Uncharted 3 sells over 3m by the years end... you have alot of confidence in a game with a lower meta then little big planet 2...

You know you've failed when... yo_john117 is correcting your math. *ba-dum-tish-squirtle!*

Well if Blood_Tears meant that the 360 sold 40% (of the amount the PS3 sold), then the math was correct only misunderstood.
