So are you trying to say there's a lot more diversity in your gaming options on PS3 or what?  Aside from a couple of shooter series the 360 really doesn't tend to have that much.

360 actually has more games not on PS3 in 2012. That wasnt the point though. The point is the thread OP. Pay attention.

Oh yeah, and they all tend to be shooters.  What about that Alan Wake? For one of the most hyped games of 2005, its sales really turned out to be staggering, or Crackdown 2, or Too Human?

No ud be surprised. Sony propaganda machine has done wonders to you.

lol im not talking about those exceptions. Look at the post. Im talking about Halo. Stay with me here. Focus. Halo 4 alone outsold 27 PS3 exclusives this year (or will). Myth busted.

Well, God of War 3 has been severely undertracked, as according to Sony, the game sold 5.14m units as of June 30.

I already said earlier in the thread that just because one series has ridiculously high sales in comparison that doesn't mean they all do as 360 fans would like to claim.

But Halo is the flagship. This isnt PS3 where Sony throws out random exclusives and expects them all to be a hit. MS has only a few big guns and uses them very well.

The generation sales of the Halo, Gears, and Forza IPs pretty much embarass the IP sales of PS3s best exclusives. 360s other exclusives and even 360/PC games (not on PS3) make it even worse.

But again, if your not gonna focus on Halo, then your sweeping a very big obstacle under the rug to make a point. Again, Halo 4 alone will outsell 27 PS3 exclusives. Please, let that sink in.

No, they don't.  As pointed out before, there's only one Gears game that has sold a million more units than any of the games in the Uncharted series and that was the first one.  Gran Turismo topped the bestselling Forza game by better than 3 million uints.  And Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, and God of War 3 all topped the 5 million mark on PS3.  If you remove the Halo series, which I'll grant you is one of the bestselling series ever, The ps3 has had more exclusives to have sold over 5 million copies than the 360.

Ah, but you cant remove Halo. Its a key part of the 360. So......you can really only win if you create a alternate universe. Fail.

"However, its also true that "Gran Turismo" is one of the bestselling game series of all time and "Forza" may have its fanboys, but no "Forza" racer has come anywhere near equalling the sales of the latest "Gran Turismo" game for PS3."

One on one comparisons dont show the full picture. "IP" sales per gen REALLY shows whats what.

GT5 - 8.32
GT5:P - 4.11

Forza2 - 3.99
Forza3 - 5.22
Forza4 - 3.08
Forza Horizon - 0.74

13.03 > 12.43. And Forza 4 bundles will continue to outpace GT5 for another 4 weeks. Horizon still selling decent on its own. Gap will be even wider by January.

This is MS's THIRD best IP compared to Sonys #1. Think about that. Myth busted again.
