Oh and there is of course one MAJOR factor called PIRACY on the 360 that will also seriously affect the numbers, until the PS3 gets piracy or the 360 get's it completly stopped you are only kidding yourselves comparing software numbers between two consoles where one has piracy and one does not, only a complete idiot would not agree to that. (or a fanboy but then they are the same thing).......

That is just ridiculous. Piracy isn't even common on the 360! It was far more common on PS2. I suppose that's why all the Splinter Cell games sold better on Xbox?

The 360's userbase is larger than that of the PS3, particularly in America, and when the PS3 sells more copies of a game in America than its competitor which has double its userbase, then it's an interesting event.

O.o are you serious? Even with 360 piracy it consistently sells tons more software in NA then Ps3. The very few times Ps3 outsells 360 SW thats when you really use the piracy excuse?

Excuse ?, Not me, I say what I said "You cannot compare one machines multiformat software sales that has piracy with one that dosen't it really is that simple", and I don't care who sells more games either as I don't get any of the money, anyway only a fanboy cares how many sales are sold when they start comparing figures with consoles they don't own, I can see no other reason why they would care? , I'm just stating an obvious point that some people like to overlook..

Didn't Sony pay to have some exclusive stuff in the game to ?... And yer of course the tempory rise in sales for the price drop and the slim will have helped a lot.....

And I don't notice 360 owners writing "And thats not including the pirated copy loses" when a 360 game outsells a PS3 version either

Of course it's because of the price cut, slim and Joker content! Did you think people would suddenly have an epiphany and start buying PS3 games for no reason? And I think the fact that 360 fans don't mention piracy just goes to show that it isn't a large factor.

The 360 version almost always sells more than the PS3 version in America. So when that happens, it's a non-event. When the opposite happens, it's interesting. It would be like the 360 version of a game selling more in Japan.
