Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you think games will now sale better on PS3?

Not trying to start a debate but SF4 and RE5 have sold better on PS3. I know it's only 2 games but do you think future multiplats like Prototype will sale better on PS3?

 

I'd say yes......but not by a lot

Prototype no cause it has a direct contender on PS3 and not on XBox360.
If the games sell well in Japan, they probably will outsell the Xbox360 version WW. That's what I have observed.



dude, will SELL better. SELL better. Not sale better.

I think you can expect some franchises like Final Fantasy to sell better on PS3, but it really depends on the game. Shooters usually sell better on 360, while racing games do well on PS3.



Owner of 360

Future owner of a PS3 (when it drops to $300)

prototype will sell the most on 360, mainly because this is a game targeted towards americans/europeans, not japanese people.



I made a comment in the past days which fits perfectly to your OP:

The gaps do seem to be decreasing between multiplatform titles as the generation continues...I thought it was just the sports games but it might be all. I have noticed that street fighter and resident evil sales have been close and I don't think the playstation name is the reason why.


My answer:
You picked a bad example here. The reason is Capcom and thus the Japanese gamers.

Devil May Cry 4 came out one year ago and had similar sales back then.

OT: It's just normal that games start to sell a bit better than before on the PS3 in a direct comparison with the 360 :)

It simply depends on the genre:

Japanese games will sell better on PS3. Partly because of sales in Japan and partly because the userbase likes those games better.

Western-Mature games will sell more on 360.



The 2 games you listed have an extremely long legacy on PS hardware and appeal more to the PS fanbase. So your argument has no merrit, unless you can elaborate with better reasons.
