the point is that no company is willing to drop a quarter of its sales revenue.especially when they are making same game for X360 and PS3.

@happy squirell

please you are posting as if having even the highest sales revenue is a bad thing

the point is will 3rd parties be willing to let go of that revenue.....I doubt it

Harder to develop = more expensive

In fact some PS3 games in many European stores are more expensive than 360 games.

(Example: Little Big Planet 72€ in Germany. Maximum for console games is usually 70€)

Why would they make Splinter Cell Conviction multiplat but not Haze ???? - No sense

don't forget there is also EA, Namco,and Konami, where the ps3 is no1 in sales.

It is honestly a mystery to me how PS3 keeps getting higher revenue then any other console. I mean I can understand the Wii with cheaper retail prices and er, stuff. But PS3 ahead of 360? Odd.

Must be Europe or something, maybe Sony charge less for royalties... or Blu-Ray's cost less for some reason I couldn't possibly imagine.

As for Haze, the main reason it took Free Radical out of business is cause it didn't sell well at launch. It's trickling it's way to a million but this is at a price point of £9.99 in the UK and probably less than $20 in the USA, how much UBisoft sees of that $20 after retail and production costs etc I've not a clue.

i call bs on this. it isnt physically possible. euro numbers may be even, but NA numbers should favor 360.

@Hammer-of-Dawn
How can it be bs when it's the companies numbers.

Barozi - I thought Sony already came out and said those were the retailers pricing it.

Happy Squrriel - I doubt development costs are that much more. Especially if they are 360 ports they'd be actually about a tenth of the cost.

Here is you answer:

9 months sales 2008/2009 (source)

Europe =57%
North America =37%
Other = 6%

Europe sales were 50% higher than US sales.

As posted above, the 360 is 24% vs 22% for the PS3 during the holiday quarter where PoP released so it can't account for why the PS3 is higher for the six previous month, it must be due to some other game(any PS3 exclusive?) or something else, maybe the publishing of some other company game in europe for PS3.

For exemple they are publishing Disgaea 3 in europe(you guy didn't get it yet?), they may well publish a lot of game from japenese company in europe(Didn't the publish NMH?) and since the 360 barely got any of those may be why they do better bussiness on the PS3.
