I can't really understand how Sony is trying to spin positive PR out of this. It's like GM spinning a bail out as the best thing since McDonald's fries.

Also, L4Dead outselling Resistance is pretty poor imho, especially from Sony fans who say "It's not exclusive if It's on the PC!" well guess what? Our ported PC title just outsold your "exclusive" Resistance 2 even with 13 days behind. LMAO!

GO NINTENDO GO GO GO !

Good 360 numbers, poor poor PS3.

Sorry, just checked.  It was December that was 5 weeks, not November.

The only difference from 2007 is that Thanksgiving was a week later.

It's amazing how Sony started the year so well, and in just a couple months, very important ones, they killed their chance of ever passing the 360.

I'm am officially accepting 3rd place.

Is this Sony's spin? I suppose so.

Nothing to argue about, these numbers make the war pretty clear.
