Here is a top 30. Same rules apply. Comparing only ps3/360 and nothing else. Games like Fable 3 count.

In the end it's pretty damn close, so I don't even see a need to argue over it.

so i understand you have both consoles but you never played any of these games? what have you been playing????

No one's gonna answer the question from this thread?
Well, I think Microsoft advertises their games better, and regardless of their quality (which they sure have), they seem to appeal more to the younger audience (I mean 13-19yr), at least in the US. Now try to explain to a 15yr old teen why he should play Uncharted instead of Gears...(Gears definitely sounds more "epic"). Try to tell someone how LBP is better than Halo (no chance). etc.

Marketing

To answer the question...

Huge lead in North America + a lot of Multiplayer Shooters = Sales.

after reading through the first page, you guys are actually wondering why Xbox 360 fans left this side months ago?

20 million people spent $60 on games like Fable III, GoW, L4D, L4D2 and they do not count when you compare 2 consoles and these games are not available on the other one? Really?

It is blatantly obvious that this discussion is artificially created to avoid the discussion about the fact that 360 exclusives outsell PS3 exclsusives.

Another reason would be the Yearly Holiday bundles. At least half of Forza 2 and Forza 3s sales were bundled, for example. Halo Reach, ODST had sustained bundles too, although those are Halo so sell extremely well anyway.

To further anchor my point above, about Multiplayer Shooters and the American userbase... In the 360 top 10 there is 3 Halo games and 3 Gears games. By the end of the Year there will likely by 7 spots occupied by those 2 series'.

We've never really had very many Xbox 360 fans.

The answer:

2 genres (FPS & TPS) in the top 6 for 360. All 6 games pretty much appeal to the same demographic. It's a Halo and Gears sausage fest.

4 Genres (racing sim, action/adventure, platformer, action) in the top 6 for PS3 all appealing to very different gamer demographics.

Outside the top 6 things start to even out a bit more. 360 still getting higher sales but not massively so.

Smroadkill15 posted the top 30 list a few posts ago. The results are pretty much the same
