nice 360 numbers...

expected RE5 numbers to be much better, on both 360 and the ps3...

This reads off like a cop out. The predictions I've been reading on this site seemed fairly sure that the 360 was either going to equal or surpass the ps3 version when US data came in even on week one. I won't be too sure about a significant beating though. When it's not a multiplayer shooter, the ps3 really hold it's own even with a much lower userbase. Just take a look at our last major AAA multiplat---SF4. The ps3 and 360 versions are essentially tied even with the 360 selling approximately double the ps3 version in the US.

When Japan shows a significant interest in a game, the ps3 version suddenly becomes waay more significant even though it's userbase is much lower.

 Yeah saw that now.

I just checked, the PS3 version of SF4 already surpassed the 360 version albeit maybe a statistical tie. My earlier post is even outdated already. This means that it must have sold better than its 360 counterpart in the US this week with half the userbase there yet our good friend XGamer0611 says that the US doesn't care about the ps3 LMAO.

I'm just going to call it like I've seen it. This proportion will not be anywhere close to what it is come NPD time. With that said is VGC including bundled SW in the west or no. If I had to guess it would be the latter, but still does not make up the proportions I have personally seen.

Also PS3 is going to have a rough month.

The problem is your singing the heralds of PS3's first week, which had it's best market in Japan. When that happens for a 360/PS3 game, it usually doesn't end up very good, unlike SFIV which it's primary market wasn't Japan.

If you want to gloat over a few people that were dumb about 1st week sales, that's fine. But given the skewing of sales - large NA gap, no Euro gap, large JP gap, it's pretty obvious where it's going to go. The PS3 version of RE5 may sell another 50,000-60,000 units in Japan in it's entire life....That's really not telling of PS3 platform domination, considering the fact that NA will account for a very significant portion of RE5 sales when everything is said and done.

And for every SFIV, I could give a Guitar Hero or Lego game example, and prove the exact opposite: That the 360 does very good on games that aren't shooters.

Come back in 3 weeks. If the PS3 version is still leading by anything discernable, you may have a point. But with a 160k week-1 gap in America that is unlikely to ceede to the PS3, I don't think this one is gonna be too close in the end. The 360 will wind up with a 500,000 unit worldwide gap. Which won't be bad, given the fact that Resident Evil has always been a Playstation franchise, and this is the first RE that a MS system has ever got. Heck, being in the same area is quite a feat for it.

Even though I personally don't care for RE5, I hope capcom gets the message. They've had nothing but inferior ps3 ports (however slightly) this gen. With recent results, ps3 should be their lead platform but I bet that's asking for too much.

xbox360 totally destroyed the ps3 this week again

Now then to find the guy who said I can quot him with his statement which is "RE5 on 360 will destroy ps3 sales first week"
