It's asking for way too much.

 



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

I just thought I'd post these attach ratios for RE5 in america:

PS3: 0,027
360: 0,022

So ps3 won the RE5 battle even after being pegged as the "inferior" version LMAO. Looks like 360 only has it's high attach rates when it's selling it's multiplayer shooters.

Given the fact that RE5 sold about 250,000 extra units in Japan on the 1st week, the deck was kind of stacked. However, with Europe being =/=, I would expect the 360 version to eventually beat the PS3 version, thanks to a huge (and most likely to grow) lead in the US.

 

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.

 


Agreed. 360 only has the advantage in shooters. Anyone wanna guess Tekken 6 numbers?

edit : let me put it this way, developing for the xbox360 and port 2 the playstation is easier then visa versa

Actually no it's only logical lead platforms are now mostly PS3s since RE5 PS3 outsold easily 360 version according to vg numbers.

It seems the US are not the only country in the world (by the way, Europe is the biggest market right now).

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"

yeah, I guess he's hiding somewhere with his tons of 12 year old MS fanboy friends.

They need to satisfy the larger xbox 360 userbase.
