I really Strange these Days to See such events When Sony themselves have claimed that they Hold the Hardcore base..And surlely you Must agree that CoD4 Is a AAA tittle....But the numbers are so unbalanced We should really look into these instances and wonder why the sales are so unbalnced

Here are the Number

Xbox

7.31

PS3

4.25

I mean What's next GTA

Cuold the PS3 Outsell the Xbox in other popular Franchises?

Resident Evil 5 sold more on the PS3, thanks to the Japanese.

did anyone notice 360 has 2 times bigger userbase in america where COD series actually sell good?

If a game is good enough it will sell in any market.

Yes but USA is the biggest market when it comes to shooters. And 360 has superior online so people who own both consoles will probably buy 360 version coz of online.

No, it isn't. Europe has always been a bigger market for shooters.

Not on consoles, I know Germany has a very large PC market, but certainly on consoles, all the evidence shows the US is bigger on consoles

And? Doesn't change the fact that Europe is the biggest market for shooters.

Halo 3:

NA: 6.88 million

EU: 2.57 million

CoD4 (360):

NA: 5.15 million

EU: 2.07 million

Gears of War:

NA: 3.73 million

EU: 2.07 million

CoD4 (PS3):

NA: 2.18 million

EU: 1.94 million

Resistance 2:

NA: 870k

EU: 620k

In each instance, the NA sales are higher. On the 360 games, this can be attributed to a far larger NA userbase, however, on the PS3 games, although the lead is not as large, the EU install base is higher than the NA install base, which means that, from the data we have (which is consoles only), NA is the biggest market for shooters.

Unless you happen to have some PC data lying around?

yeh but the gap has been shrinking ever since so what does that say?

Well it isn't shrinking by much. Also the 360 has other great shooter people want. PS3 exclusive shooters haven't had outstanding sales per se.
