I'd say PS3 did EXTREMELY well against the 360 version.

 just a question about this. In the total column is that for the region or total sales worldwide of the software?

^ thats just for America.

DMC PS3 sold 208k in Japan on Ps3, and around 95k in EU.

Where as the 360 version sold 40k in Japan and sold 100k in EU.

thats for N. America sales. Click on the game title for each console to see World Wide sales.

 Actually its the Third party exclusive is what going bye bye. MGS4, FF13 FFv13 and TeKKen could posible be the last of that dieing breed. 

First Party games will have to carry most the Destinctivness from now on. Nintendo has the most talented first party, Sony has the larges First party, MS has money to throw around to keep some third party games as first party (NG2, Gears, LO, Halo spin-off 1,2,3) by publishing.

 no thats the NA sales

Japan sales was

200k PS3

40k 360

and about even in EUR

at

90k 360

86k PS3 

 They absolutely look at regional sales as well as world wide sales. You have to know what your user base in various countries like in order to cater to them more specifically. World wide sales are almost certainly more important, but if they are close together than it doesn't matter much one way or the other. If the PS3 sold it at 100% attach rate but only sold as many as the 360 version then it would be equally succesful.

"They absolutely look at regional sales as well as world wide sales. You have to know what your user base in various countries like in order to cater to them more specifically"

True.

User base in Japan is 3.31x for Ps3. Ps3 sold 5.25 times as many copies though.

But user base is 2.81x for 360 in N. America. 360 only sold 1.58 times as many copies.

User base is 1.37x for 360 in others. and only sold 1.05 times as many copies.

Looking at user base compared to copies sold its safe to say Ps3 fullfilled more expectations than 360. It is also safe to say Ps3 version is selling 100k (after this weeks japan numbers show) more than the 360 version WW with 360 having a 1.78x user base. Unless you are talking about shipping figures. Of course Capcom isn't going to ship the same number of copies for the 360 in Japan as it does for Ps3. And ofcourse they won't ship same number of copies for Ps3 in N. America as it does for 360.
