Borderlands Xbox 360 version is on fire while PS3 version is struggling
267
VGarabia.com: This month has been very crowded with the release of some of the biggest hitters this year. Exclusive Games such as Uncharted 2, Forza 3 are currently enjoying great success in all regions. But what had caught my attention when I saw the latest worldwide sales figures from VGchartz.com is the poor sales of the PS3 version of Borderlands.

I heard that the PS3 version is the superior version, but that matters not seeing how the PC version spanks both of their asses with a spiky wooden board.

I have bought more games for the PS3 in the past 2 months than I did for my 360 since GOW2 was released.
I even got BL during BB 3 for 2 sale, but didnt open it since its so bugged.

360 fans are very desperate for games, plus they can't get enough of generic shooters.
PS3 just got the best game of this generation (Uncharted 2) a couple of weeks ago, along with the best RPG of the generation (Demon's Souls) I'm pretty sure they're buying those over some generic shooter.

Your guys ps3 network is so broken I can see why no one has boughten Borderlands. I mean after all it is an online co-op RPG shooter that is best enjoyed by friends. Hey hows that cross game chat coming along I hear they will have it figured out with the ps4.
P.S. I own Uncharted and Uncharted 2 those are like the few ps3 games worth owning such a weak library for the ps3.

360 owners buy games. Plain and simple. HALO ODST sold over 2 million, Forza 3 is selling extremely well, Borderlands is also doing well, MW2 looks to sell over a million on its first day, Left 4 Dead 2 will also be a big seller.
The facts are all there.

pretty much there are more options for ps3 gamers.. i know a few people who are just now getting into killzone 2 and inFamous, let alone demon's souls and uncharted 2 and ratchet and clank..
also, end of the day, i like borderlands, really good game but its a shooter.. another shooter..
not sure if anyone has been paying attention but a new shooter usually skyrockets even briefly on the 360 and and everything else on the ps3..
i got to level 12 on borderlands, by that time i got that whole been there done that vibe and just went back to demon's souls

9 - Not that big of a deal
Its only one game.Who cares.Its not the systems that are going to be hurt its going to be the devs who suffer.PS3 has a alot more exclusives out to be played then some multiplatform game.I own Borderlands for the PS3 and its sweet.So im not knocking the game.Its much better then Fallout so I think its hitting a wider range of gammers for once.But it does come down to xbox not having any titles to follow up on so there left with multiplatform games like borderlands and Mwf2.Its not a bad thing it just cuts down on selection choices to which sony right now has so many and there all solid games.other then that great job on borderlands and in time things will even out for MS.But right now good on sony for picking up on the slack months of exclusives for other consoles.

Too true, I was playing this as a friends house. It's pretty much a more accessible Fallout 3 clone if that's possible, but the art style, gangs and rundown world in the game reminds me of Tank Girl. Co op is a great idea, I used to watch my mates play Fallout 3 and now I can hop in and join in with quests and the levels stay the same whenever leaving a SP/Co-Op game.
But sadly I can see the reason for this not selling because there is a lot more games out there for PS3 at this time, just in general, there is a lot more to choose from. I'm struggling to buy games myself, so I'm just renting them, I mean, I'm a die hard ND fan and I RENTED and completed Uncharted 2 and aim to do the same with R&C:CiT.
All this really shows to me is that people only with 360s buy what is most commonly suggested to buy as I've previously seen over and over again and other than Forza3 and ODST, there really was only Borderlands in October 360 releases. I can see how the game has been slightly ignored on PS3 though, there is currently a really good load of games in different genres all around the same time and most of them are exclusives.

Literally. Gearbox is going to go Xbox exclusive, and you'd cry like little bed wetters, because there is no other game quite like Borderlands. Try harder next time to support 3rd parties PS3 fanboys.

You are exactley the gammer that gives this industry a bad name.Grow up.The game is good and it doesnt matter what console sells more then the other.Its going to be the gammers loss for not trying it.Dont get your panties in a knot just because there more games out there to play then just borderlands.My god who cares of the ps3 has more to play and the xbox doesnt.Not that big of a deal unless its some jack a$$ like yourself who only wants to hear himself writing usless posts about nothing.I have both consoles and I personally dont care what console I play the game on just as long as Im playing it with the other true gammers out there.

Something is wrong with you, sir/madam. Maybe you didn't mean to respond to me.. I wasn't responding to you particularly or I would have pressed reply under your post. I just talk to this entity on N4G and he's a huge douchbag who thinks Sony can do no wrong.
I platinumed Borderlands if that explains my "gamming" stance, I just think gearbox will jump ship, they already produced Halo on PC. So, you know them and Microsoft are on good terms.

Gearbox's port of Halo on PC was terrible. It's a shame because the Halflife game spin offs were top notch but after Halo PC I was totally put off by any Gearbox developed game after that.
I can see Gearbox slowly coming back now though, Borderlands is a really good return to form.

I remember Halo 1 having quite a strong community for awhile on PC, and it was the only version of it with online play. Sure you aren't confusing it with Halo 2 on PC? I don't think Gearbox did that one, admittedly Gearbox has been in a slump, but after what they accomplished with Borderlands I think they may actually be up to snuff to take over Halo 4 when Bungie gets tired.

funny how only 2 exclusives are out for the ps3 and now everyone is so packed with games they cant play other games. wtf?
not saying the 360 is stalked with exclusives but the spin you guys put on every article these last few weeks is amazing.
you all make it seem that besides u2 and ds thrre is 4 other exclusives out keeping you all so busy.
thats like a 360 owner saying between halo odst,l4d 2 and forza 3 there is no way they can play any other game as if multiplat games dont exist.
i guess assasins creed 2 and mw2 are figments of our imagination

So ps3 owners have more games to worry about...funniest excuse I have seen in a long time...Look I purchased 3 games today at best buy with the buy 2 and get one for free deal...I bought forza 3,Beatles rock band and marvel alliance 2...the point is with "no games" on the xbox 360 I managed to find 2 games that have been out for ahwile and purchased....Stop making excuses people...multiplatform games are better on the xbox 360 plain and simple..and people who want to play co-op or online with others know that xbox live will handle it...lets watch and see with Modern warfare 2 comes out....who would you rather be playing with...2.5 million owners of the game or 400-600k on the other console version.

I would actually rather play with a 1000 people tops in a community that is active most of the day. It would mean they are more inclined to put up with you and be more polite. Not like the game takes place on a map that fits more than 16 people, I don't know what the premium of a million more people crowding a matchmaking server would be. Lag?

You remember last year with the ps3 version of Modern Warfare....had to wait a couple of weeks for the patch....and I never had a problem finding a game on modern warfare with about a handful of games with lag but nothing gamebreaking for me.
"I don't know what the premium of a million more people crowding a matchmaking server would be. Lag?"]
the only problem was in 2007 in December where xbox live was down for like a week..and we got a free game out of that...so I dont think so on the lag part my friend.

Halo 3 ODST was a huge disapointment for me just because it doesnt have matchmaking... What the f&^k is up with these companies making things crappy just of one little important detail they forgot to add? If the Ps3 had private chat it would make it 10x better. But no dont listen to me or any other gamers we dont know whats truly needed.
As for that yes Xbox 360 users including me havent had much good come out this month. I also own a ps3 though and I bought Uncharted 2 (Sweet game btw)and I still bought Borderlands for xbox 360. Alot of games you pay $60 for 3days of gameplay, but borderlands gives you more to do with your money spent.
You always get those crappy months though. Anyway I'm looking forward to dragon age mainly because alot of people playing Borderlands have been talking about it. A few even told me that they bought borderlands to keep them entertained until that game.

All this fuss is just silly.
Uncharted 2 and Demons Souls provide way more hours of gameplay than Forza & ODST. That's why some people, people like me, aren't in a rush to buy Borderlands.
Plus the Gow collection is just around the corner and I want to see how MW2 & Assassins Creed2 turn out.

people actually think the majority of the market didn't buy it becuz of a few exclusives!!! HEHE no one but the people on here cares about weather a game is exclusive or not. casual gamers buy whatever they like and they don't even know what an exclusive is.
reason it sold low is theres too many games coming out and the economy is messed up.

I intend to buy Borderlands on the PS3 but its at the bottom of my list at the moment. Im still trying to platinum Uncharted2 then Il be moving onto Assassins Creed 2 then either Borderlands or MW2 depending on how good Dragon Age is.
If I was a sole 360 owner, Borderlands would have been a day 1 purchase.. So there you go

I buy all my multi-platform titles for the 360, so it isn't surprising that I automatically bought this title for the 360 without comparing reviews between platforms. I looked at the 360 or overall previews and reviews and thought it looked good so I picked it up on release day.
But I haven't even played it yet. It truly is a crowded gaming season this fall. I purchased Halo ODST, barely got into it, and then I dusted off my PS3 and have been playing Demon's Soul's ever since. Borderlands is next, but maybe not if Left4Dead2 sneaks up on me first.
I'd like to say I love Borderlands, but I haven't even tried it yet.

PS3 fans are so funny if an awesome game doesn't sell as well their platform they are like we have too many great games to play. And you know whats funny those great games arent selling that well either :) The PS3 is in last place this gen for a reason. And I cant wait for the PS3 slim sales to slow so they can start saying that 2010 will be the year of ps3 because it wasn't 07 and 08 like they predicated running their mouths all over the forums.
