Wanna compare them to FPSs in Japan? TPSs? WRPGs? Western Sandbox games?

So ps3 has sold more consoles....... and theres millions of RROD 360's to take in to account too. (lots of folks went out and just bought a new 360, thus the 360 has inflated sales sony fans right? RIGHT..!!!!)

700,000 lead for ps3, plus say however many millions of 360's that were just purchased again instead of fixed.

Yes.....safe to say then that the 360 has been a software BEAST this gen.

Ahhhh, Because the M$ bots are buying their own software to push their sales up. :)

Really though, I think that many people have already made this point. Seems to depend on what kind of title it is and then the sales mirror the game type favoritism of that region.

Sorry but where did I show pride in my sentence? I was just stating that US gamers have broader spectrum of the market than their Jap/EU counterparts.

We don't buy just shooters.

Saints Row and Splinter Cell have a stronger fanbase on the 360.

Saints Row 1 was and is an 360-exclusive and there was no PS3-version of Splinter Cell: Coviction.

Generally, a slightly higher tie ratio for the 360 is hardly surprising. It launched one year before the PS3 (16 month in Europe) and the gap was closed this year. So the 360 had a greater install base for 7 years.

Now that's just silly. We buy crazy numbers of football games in Europe every single year!

PS. What's soccer?

I don't know, do you know?

Seriously, Sony Fanboys or MS Fanboys can't deny the fact that the Xbox 360 sold more software

1. Yes the Xbox has a larger user base, but even if you check software sales from year 1 to today MS has sold more software every single year up until this year

2. If you want to do a more accurate measurement compare Sony's Software Sales to the previous year MS sales numbers and you will find it still has sold more

At the end the day all those wasted arguements on who sells more systems should be geared towards who sells more software.  Software is where a majority comes for console developers.  If you look at the Total Lifetime software sales, PS is still behind MS by around 85-90 million.  It has more to do with just 1 year launch difference.

A Majority of the 'AAA' rated titles get launched in the US first which is why MS usually leads in 3rd party sales for about 75% of the AAA titles released, though 2 years ago that number would have been much higher.

Look at Japan 90% of the those titles don't leave the Japanese Market, because it's more segmented then other markets.  (i.e. Majority of JRPGs SIM games etc specific to that market)  They do great sales numbers in Japan, but thats it and thats a limited market.

Another factor, a lot of the Sony Exclusives, don't do very well for whatever reason.  Combine that with the fact that if MS didn't have third party, they wouldn't have any games, so of course third party is going to be bigger with MS device.

Maye that was the case in 2007/8 but looking at the software charts thus far this year and PS3 is ahead by almost 10 million in software..

Isn't that a bit of an hyperbole? I mean, I look at the weekly charts of VGC and this is what comes up:
