I mean in usa we have for now x360 outselling ps3 4 times:

52,8096,277,323
16,9451,455,479

And now games sales:

Spiderman: The Movie 3Activision36,547307,109
Spiderman: The Movie 3Activision21,939154,843

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds EndDisney6,5516,551
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds EndDisney3,8783,878

It`s outselling only 2 times. Why not 4? I`m just curious. :)

What do you think?

  

Pirates of the Carabbean: The game bombed outright. So the size of the difference doesn't really mean much. 2 is more than one, but they're both some pretty low numbers.  The 360 version sold 100 more than the PS2 version, but that doesn't really mean anything in relation to those two consoles.

Spiderman: The Movie 3: I'm suprised I'm the first to point this out, but the PS3 got two versions of spiderman. The regular game, and the Collecters edition. The latter version includes cast interviews, making of docs, and most importantly, the ability to play as Harry the Goblin, flying around the city on your little goblin board as controlled by the sixaxis for an extra 10 bucks.

It really does make the PS3 the definitive version, both making it the pick for anyone that has multiple consoles, and giving it that extra appeal to PS3 owners on the fence over the game.  

 As for Movie games, I presume this assertion is made with the standard exception of Starwars games.

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.

Some Star Wars games, Chronicles of Riddick, Goldeneye, and some Lord of the Rings games (based on the movies, not the books). Off the top of my head, that's all I've got.

 I think you missed his meaning. He's asking why the 360 versions are only outselling the PS3 versions by 2 to 1, when the Hardware is outselling the PS3 4 to 1.  He's well aware of the 360's head start and stronger sales.

well, that thing with moovie games, it just because not many games were released simultaneously on x360 and ps3. well, the next game will be probably the Darkness, but only after 1 month..

Easy DIY piracy on the 360 certainly makes its mark on those numbers.
