The screenshots show thet RE5 on X360  clearly looks better than RE5 on PS3. The textures and colours in the RE5 XBox 360 look so much better than the PS3 RE5 version.

 

The RE5 sales predictions. 6 to 7 million copies of RE5 will be sold on Xbox 360. 4 or 5 million copies of RE5 will be sold on PS3. (GTA IV and COD 4 say hello remember us?)

Japan ok RE5 on PS3 wins that region by default. PS3 install base is 3 million versus .92 million XBox 360.

Europe/Others very close here it could be line ball, narrow victory to PS3 maybe but very close.

North America X360 blows the PS3 out of the water The 9 million extra X360 owners over PS3 should see RE5 on X360 outsell PS3 RE5 by around 2 to 1 in NA region.

Overall RE5 X360 beats RE5 PS3 version by 6 million to 4 million.

I dont think that either version will hit 4 million, although I do think that the sales will be pretty even with a slight edge to the 360

 



Buy the version you will be able to continue playing in 3 years and a more (ooops, I said it)

I solve this problem easy, I'm getting BOTH versions. If I had only one choice it would be PS3. Sony Playstation + Resident Evil 5 = following the roots, for me. Yea, it's personal.

I'll remember that next time you accuse someone of fanboyism or blind subservience to Microsoft.

That's a good point.

If Sony's financial situation and poor PS3 sales DOES force them to discontinue the console's production, many people may throw away their consoles.

More second hand PS3s available for fire sale prices if PS3 gets discontinued. $100 PS3 sounds good to me. Pick up a lot of PS3 games @$10 to $15 each and see how they compare to XBox 360 versions for myself instead of having to take analysts word for it.

I may actually have to eat my own words.



Look at the shadows for the trees on the ps3 version...... they look like N64 graphics.

That's more than a little optimistic...are you aware that the best selling Resident Evil is RE2 with 5.82 million sales? You know, back when the series was popular, on a system with a 105 million install base...

And you think that 7 million copies of Resident Evil 5 will be sold on a console with 28 million userbase? It won't do more than 150k in Japan, you expect it to do 6.85 million in the West? More than GTA4?

The N64 didn't have shadows...

All I can say to Capcom is this:

If the developers that made Shellshock, Killzone and Liberation can make Killzone 2 on the PS3, why can the developers that have made some of the greatest games of all time only make Resident Evil 5 on the PS3?

It's lack of trying. That's all it is. A multiplat can look good on PS3; look at CoD4, Oblivion, DMC4 and many more. You can put equal effort into both consoles. It is possible.
