Forums - Sales - The myth of Sony's dominate publishing relative to Microsoft

Top 10 games in sales:

Sony: 21.1million

Microsoft: 35.72 million

Even accounting for userbase differentials, Microsoft EASILY matches Sony in published game sales, and the difference is even greater if all titles are counted, but I just couldn't be bothered.

The "myth" of Sony's 1st party dominating M$'s has to do with the quality of the titles. In that regard, Sony >>>>> M$. Sure, Halo and Gears sold a lot but that's really irrelevant. If you tell me that Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Incognito, GG, SCE Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, etc are of less quality than whatever M$ has (they don't even have Bungie, BioWare, or Pandemic anymore....who else do they have? Rare?) then you're fooling yourself

He's actually assuming you're smart enough to understand that the top 10 games he's referring to are from the PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively. If you're not sure you can make the sum by yourself.

Pwned

 



The J man really doesnt care weather a game is first party or third party, an exclusive is an exclusive no matter which way you look at it .With the  exclusive battle between 360 and ps3 ,the 360 wins.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Also, people are forgetting that MS have been serving up 1st Party games this Gen a year longer. I think the Sony number could look alot better by the end of the year. MS have also already launched their big hitter while Sony still has theirs. Its not as one sided as you make it look

Clearly assuming intelligence was my biggest error.

To all those claiming that Sony has better first party development.  Is it your submission that Microsoft gamers receive more, high-quality titles than Sony gamers, but that this is all ok because the few Sony gamers get are designed by Sony themselves?
