Thanks for the info. I cannot wait to play it. I'll get it on the 360 since the DLC is there.

@STAGE

yeah get it on the 360....cus trust me you just want to keep on doing more n more missions

so DLC is great

simple, the ps3 userbase is too small. if 100 million ps2 owners have still not bought a ps3 its obvious why software sales are like that. The only question is: Why does the 360 have better software sales with the HW of both the ps3 and 360 itself amost the same?

i think in My Opinion that's it's the market of each system, if you look at what each system is designed from the get go they are not quite the same.

i think it just boil's down to the market for both being:

the PS3 is more of a MULTI-MEDIA system "that play's game's"

and the XBOX360 is more of Game's machine "that play's multimedia"

that play's part is what i think that make's each targeted toward their main market.

which is why if your more of a "gamer" type person than if you like to watch more movies, or use the system for more non game related function's.

you would be more inclined to choose the xbox360 and or the Wii over the PS3. this is not a slight against the PS3 as "not being a game's machine" because I think its a very good game's machine.

I just think that Sony's machine is made more for Multi-Media function as a "more all arround entertainment machine" I think if you notice, folding@home, linux install,playstation life, home. those are function's that are shall we say NOT of the highest "priority of gamer's list of function's" for the most part, Now that's my Opinion that it's not but i think it's a sound one.

People may consider that Sony has gone in the wrong direction, but that may be for you but not for other's. I Happen to like the direction of the PS3,but that also mean's i may not be as much of a hardcore "gamer" as i used to be. i happen to use my PS3 for quite a number of thing's that are non gamer related.I see the PS3 as more of an evolution of the direction that the first playstation was designed arround. more of a all arround Entertainment device than targeted toward one part of Entertainment.

I think that in of it self may have something to do with it.

Two seperate consumer market's within their consumer base that buy's each system.

Is that so? Then GTAIV must have the best attach rate for any game ever, 100%!

This makes no sense. Read our convo properly.

 Because a higher percentage of the Xbox 360's users actually buy games and purchase premium from Xbox Live. The majority of PS3 users don't play videogames judging from PSN sales and game sales. the sales could be spread out amongst various genres, but that still doesn't explain why they don't have over 6 M sold at all for an exclusive. Xbox had over 8 M copies of Halo 3 by the time they were at 20 M. Another way to explain this shows that some of the PS2 owners of the past moved over to the 360 because it was the affordable console with a greater library (Including RPG's) which reminded them of the PS2. Also, the majority the PS fanbase could be waiting for the PS3 to drop price. i doubt game sales would rise that much anyway LTD but still. 

Halo is just one of thse series that breaks through the mold because it probably has sold over 30% of the whole xbox line.. I don't think even the ps2 had something like this. You have to understand that ps3 is really ps2 with a much lower userbase. If you judge it that way, you'd realize that it performing decently software-wise

 Actually dude...the 360 resembles the PS2 more than the PS3. Thats the essence of why I purchased it. Just think about it for a moment and get back to me. The PS3 resembles the Xbox last gen. Trust me on this.

No it doesn't. 360 has higher attach ratios than ps2. It doesn't resemble the ps2 in any way. It may have acquired some ps2 IP's but remember that the ps2 never had a decent FPS save for killzone which many thought was mediocre. It had JRPGs popping out left and right not one every now and then. I know it's the library you're thinking about when making this comparison thats why I'm going on that tangent. Ps2 had  a huge casual "fillerbase". 360 has next to no casuals. They're not the same at all.

However, my comparison was based on attach ratios which is really the underlying subject of this thread. If you look carefully, ps3 has even performed better than ps2 with some IPs. Ps3s casuals are the blu-ray only section.
