It should be noted that all of your examples are from one genre.

You said Uncharted 2 sold less than Uncharted 1 but kinda skipped over the fact that UC1 has been out for like 2 or 3 years while UC2 has been out for about 2 months.

The PS3 doesn't have any Halo 3 or MW2 level sales but it's got titles that sell what Gears Of War, GOW2, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 have sold. If you want to compare sales of exclusive titles, the PS3 beats the 360 in sales with the exception of Gears and Halo. You called out Fable 2, Left 4 Dead but Resistance, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 2 and GT5P have outsold all of those. On top of that there is more genre variety.

It should also be noted that it has a smaller install base than the 360.

oh you shut your face with all those *facts* -_-



Around the Network

Tekken 6 = PS3 1.32 mil vs 360 0.66 mil

Street Fighter 4 = PS3 1.62 mil vs 1.39 mil

Dead Space = PS3 0.93 mil vs 360 0.93 mil

Bayonetta = PS3 0.39m vs 360 0.34m

FIFA 10 = PS3 2.88m vs 2.24m

Need for Speed: Shift = PS3 1.81m vs 360 1.32m

Resident Evil 5 = PS3 2.73m vs 360 2.56m

Devil May Cry 4 = PS3 1.30m vs 360 1.23m


Those are just some examples of recent multiplatform games which have sold better than or on par with the 360

Outside of the 360's largest franchise (Halo) the exclusives don't sell that differently from each other. Once Gran Turismo comes out it should be able to match or get close to Halo's sales.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
