This is the first high budget Beat em up on the PS3, right?

.....Virtua Fighter 5?

They're citing Amazon.com for their information. So take it with a bucket of salt.

SoulCalibur is a fighting game. A beat-em-up is a game like Final Fight or Double Dragon.

But yeah, I'm quite positive that VGC and NPD numbers will show a different story. If DMC4 or GTAIV on the PS3 didn't have this kind of an edge over the 360 versions, why would SoulCalibur?
