I think what is far more important than the 360 version of DMC4 beating the PS3 version, is that the 360 version pushed more hardware into consumers hands than the PS3 version did, as indicated by the percentage increases.""

==> I completely agree
price is very important
and since DMC4 has no online ==> Arcade POWA !!!!

Actually I doubt 360 version sold more HW.  As Source indicated in his analysis it's more likely the uplift from DMC4 was roughly identical to PS3 while 360 also saw some supply constraints ease and got an additional jump from that so overall had a higher lift.

As for Arcade, if more and more people get caught like they did with Burnout for online then I think MS might well regret that already failed attempt to compete with the Wii as the negative press will outweigh any slim advantage the Arcade delivered (although to be honest I don't think the Arcade has delivered any advantage at all and it was a pretty feeble parry vs the Wii which was doomed to failure).

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

sony and microsoft should just team up, come out with one hell of a game console and one hell of a handheld and go after the ds and the wii

DMC has always been a sony franchise and NOTHING else, if the 360 version ultimately sells better it will be.. funny.



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

But remember to use your own logic Crazyman. The PS3 version will sell faster because of all the devilboys. But as soon as they've all bought the game sales will sink like a rock.




I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Agreed.

Imagine GeoW 2 comes out on PS3 and sells better or equally on PS3. CrazzyMan will really go crazy.

I'm surprised that it sold so well on 360. Does this mean 360 players play games that are not FPS. Or did 360 get many new players to buy their system? Wonder how many PS2 owners that never had Xbox actually bought a 360.
