360 Black Ops outsells PS3 version

Xbox 360 was the best selling version of Call of Duty Black Ops in the game's opening week on UK shelves, Chart-Track data has confirmed.

[rebirthofcaos]

wow amazing, I didnt knew./s

[ConanOBrien]

to see someone crying over it and pretending to feel happy

[raztad]

No one is crying and you are pretending to be happy.

[Longrod_Von_Hugendon]

And yet the article acts as if they Xbox version is bug/glitch free. Didn't even mention the PC version which is worst of the three.

[Game-ur]

The less people buying this game the better

[Immortal321]

but focus entirely to the multiplayer is a below average game.

-IMO-

[ikkokucrisis]

Well, they did spend at least $0.5 billion more on advertising it than the ps3 version...

[jeseth]

I don't totally regret it, but it definitely doesn't have the polish of MW2.

I like how Treyarch took out a lot of the BS online that was in MW2 but it feels like a game that came out in the beginning of this gen vs. now. Many online FPS games are better than Black Ops.

Oh well, maybe next years installment of Guitar Hero . . .Er, I mean. . .Call of Duty will be better.

[redsquad]

"Crying" over a COD game? Never going to happen, sunshine, so get over yourself!

[Perjoss]

Didn't find a single problem playing it on the xbox360.

[Linzoid]

The adverts in the UK make out it's an xbox 360 exclusive

[thehitman]

its not just the UK here in the US they have like 2-3 adds that display it just for xbox and I see them all day.

[ComboBreaker]

Also proves that 360 gamers got tricked once again, by CoD. PS3 gamers are smart enough to stay away from that sh*t.

[DelbertGrady]

ConanOBrien's 107 disagrees tells me alot of you are really REALLY butthurt lol.

Me? Not surprised nor butthurt in the slightest. I get to enjoy the better version of the two so I can't complain.

[Active Reload]

This is news...for some.

[Anon1974]

Yeah, this is a no brainer. What would be news is if a shooter didn't sell better on the 360. 360 owners love their shooters.

[ElementX]

360 owners love their shooters? I love Resistance 1 & 2, Killzone 2, and not to mention all those MAG fans... Quit saying 360 is the shooter console, some of the top games on PS3 are shooters!

[HornyHaggis]

Calm down element lol who gives a fuck what console is regarded as the "shooter" console it's the community not the console you can enjoy playing shooters all you want because no one gives two fly fucks.

[raztad]

Well MAG sold less than Heavy Rain or inFAMOUS. GoW3 sold more than Heavy Rain or inFAMOUS. UC2 sold more than KZ2. Bayonetta sold better on PS3. GT5P sold better than MGS4, that in turns sold 4.5m. Yet GT5 will sell better than anything released before, even Black Ops.

Shooters are obviously popular on PS3, but are not that predominant.

@etoweno

It was not intended. I have more stuff to add but my post was getting long. I mentioned BO sales as the one to beat.

BTW, I'm not even trying to knock the xbox. I dont care about that console. Just replying ElementX post.

[etownone]

@raztad

Funny how you left out the part where COD are the best selling games on PS3 and the #1 game played online on PS3

But yeah .... if it makes you feel better, Xbox is a console for shooters

lol

[Kewl_Kat]

@ElementX

Let's say the ps3 would lose killzone 2, mag, and resistance 2 right now. PS3 owners would still have uncharted 2, demon's souls, ratchet & clank crack in time, and god of war 3. Yes, that's right, that's why the ps3 is not a "shooter's console" because it doesn't heavily rely on shooters. Now if the 360 were to lose halo reach, what other exclusive games are there for players to enjoy? Gears of war 2? Fable 3? Not much, huh?

[hoops]

Excellent point.
I assume PS3 owners HATE shooters like MAG, ROF, Killzone, COD, BFB2...oh wait....
Some of those have sold more units than non shooters on the PS3...
Go figure Darkride.
You're right. Only Xbox360 owners LOVE shooters.
P3 owners HATE KZ3, MAG and all those other "shooters"

[plenty a tool]

etownone bubbles up.

things like that are always forgotten. bu but the ps triplez!! i remember reading an interview from a sony exec last year, where he was claiming that the ps3 is new shooter console! i think a few of the faithful were nodding their heads in agreement also.

@raztad you dont care about the 360, but you sure can be found in alot of 360 threads....strange that!

@ darkride... tut tut, you talk the most rubbish. why dont you just stay on your crappy smgamers web-site? or stick to writing nonsense blogs knocking the 360 in the hope that they will come true

[Sayai jin]

@Kewl_Kat -Hmmm. I would still play Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Alan Wake, Forza 3, etc. There is a good variety of game on all the consoles. Hell I am still playing through MGS4 and GOW 3 for the 3rd time. I like my shooters as well on my 360 and PS3. I am about to finally buy MAG and give KZ2, Resistance 2, and Gears 2 a rest. My favorite genre is RPG. To say that 360 owners only game is Halo Reach....is just ridiculous. I do not understand why these battles always start...but thats N4G for you.

On topic, gaming news or the lack there of is not truly news most of the time its opinionated and flame bait (well Fox news is similar LOL. You will see a article praising "insert game" and then later that day another article is published from another site saying these are the 10 things they hate about that game. There are still "Which is better 360 or PS3. G

Game on...

[raztad]

@plenty

Dont know what are you talking about. Rarely visit any xbox only thread. Perhaps trolled Kinect just a little bit, but not more than that. You might want to check your facts.

-----------

55 vs 42 is actually a sad figure to look at. I would like less PS3 owners to fall for CoD yearly hype.

[green]

"Rarely visit any xbox only thread. Perhaps trolled Kinect just a little bit, but not more than that. You might want to check your facts."

lol.

[Active Reload]

Raztad, if the PS3 version was the best version, you'd be praising COD.

[Bloodraid]

What the hell is wrong with you? He simply said that some of the best exclusives on the PS3 are shooters.

@Kewl_Kat
Odd that you claim the PS3 isn't the shooter console when you can name off a bunch of exclusive shooters [Speaking Strictly of Multiplayer] for the PS3 (Resistance 1, 2, 3, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Killzone 3, Socom: Confrontation, Socom 4, MAG, M.G.O off the top of my head) and only two for the 360 (Halo and Gears).

Your logic is the same as saying "If we took LittleBigPlanet away from PS3 owners, what else are they going to play? Mod Nation Racers? - It's retarded logic and you're an idiot for using it.

[onanie]

Odd that you would count each PS3 "shooter" sequel as a separate title, while 360 has "only two". Retard argument, much?

Kewl kat also effortlessly named a few non-shooters. Way to quote selectively, too.

[iPad]

The only good game worth playing on the 360.

I think that's why it sold more on the 360.

[Spartanv07]

excuses,i love how fanboys always say that. Fable III launched not that long before black ops.

[mrcash]

considering that ps3 has no new games out at the moment, does that mean that ps only players just dont like to play games.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Which brings me to question, what wonderful recently released exclusive have you played in the last 6-months on the PS3?

Still waiting for GT5? I guess you all must be saving money and NOT buyign games at all. Even the Wii had Goldeneye!

I have been playing Halo: Reach and Fable 3 prior to Black Ops on my Xbox 360!

However, I'm sure you have been playing on your ipad instead of your PS3!

[HornyHaggis]

Well said IdleLeeSiuLung, too bad the fanboys have tunnel vision and can't accept the truth, I'm not saying 360 has been plagued with AAA exclusives either but -FANBOYS- ( not taking a dig at all PS3 owners just fanboys ) can't take no for an answer look at the disagrees, they can't even come up with a response that looks respectful so they just click disagree and poke their wheeto.

Also, I can't wait to see how many disagrees I get for this, and any PS3 owners who claim not to be fanboys yet get mad over this and disagree, you're just a fanboy in denial and need to go outside for a breather.

[TreMillz]

Which brings me to question...Which game will you be playing post Black Ops? For the next Month? 2 months? 3 months? haly a year? next fall o wait you have Gears 3 next fall...aww only 1 game? Such a sad console, went from shooterstravaganza to Teddy Bear Land...

[thedisagreefairy]

ps3 has had no new games coming out?

the fight lights out, the sly collection, the shoot, and time crisis have all come out the past few weeks.

what are you talking about?

[Active Reload]

If you're a retard you think this...

[lightningsax]

Nice of you to ask. I've been playing Soldner X-2: Final Prototype with the new The Last Chapter expansion. It's a wonderful game, and it's up there with the best shmups of this generation. Unlike the single-player in the titles you mentioned, the game actually demands a bit of skill on the player's part.

Anyway, if you have a PS3 (and why else would you be desperately asking that question, right?), go get it. It's a ton of fun for a quarter of the cost of COD: Black Ops.

[Killed4Less]

Well I guess I could count all the Kinect exclusives as well and pad the list but everyone would "poo poo" Kinect titles and then mention The Fight(3/10).

We aren't even talking about XBLA or PSN games here. If you want to go there I can list even more exclusives like Dead Rising Case Zero.

iPAD trolled and caught all kinds of us in his net.

/flops around like a fish outta water

[X-Alchemist]

comments like this are annoying yet funny.
it's hard to imagine that most of the users on this site suck sonys *ss

[gaden_malak]

"Which brings me to question, what wonderful recently released exclusive have you played in the last 6-months on the PS3?"

Sorry but what have you been playing the last 2 years when the PS3 saturated the market with exclusives?

[Kurt Russell]

I wouldn't say the 3 worth playing exclusives on the PS3 is saturating the market...

I've been playing Halo, Mass Effect, and Alan Wake alongside a plethora of quality multiplats... I could of wasted my fucking time playing crappy quicktime events like God of War fags and Heavy Rain, but I thought better of it and get my dick wet with some quality titles.

[gaden_malak]

lol, how angry are you?

By the way you seem to have a secret obsession with homosexuality. The use of the word fag and got your 'dick wet' over title with a predominately male cast.

Perhaps there is an underlying issue here...

[Kurt Russell]

gay jokes... nice one mate :/

[InfectedDK]

Ofcourse it did.
Remember that the SONY PS3 sells a lot of exclusive games like MAG, SOCOM, WARHAWK, Resistance 1-3, Killzone 2-3, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted 1&2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous 1-2, GoWIII, Heavy Rain, WipEout, ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet 1-2, MotorStorm 1-3 and soooooooooooooo on. You'll just get hurt to see the whole list. Xbox360 has Halo, Gears and CoD.. So yes ofcourse LOL. How to spin in favour of the 360. Every soccer game and almost every racing game also sells better on the PS3 than on the 360. Some games has to sell on the 360 and that would be some few fps shooters. The PS3 is shining so much the 360 people are crying out laud. The PS3 sold many more PS3's this year and so are they selling more games than the 360. This game selling better on the 360 is obvious and laughable LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

CoD BO is almost a 360 game. That it does so well on the PS3 besides all other great PS3 games is amazing! It actually shows failure for 360 that it does not sell a whole amount more than the PS3 version. This is the truth. Cry babies cry.

Fifa, Pes and most racing games sell better on PS3.
Heavenly Sword sold great on PS3, lol look at Enslaved.
Heavy rain, yes sold well. Alan Wake that took 5 years to make? Nah ah not that well or do you think? Think again.

[etownone]

"CoD BO is almost a 360 game. That it does so well on the PS3 besides all other great PS3 games is amazing! It actually shows failure for 360 that it does not sell a whole amount more than the PS3 version."

lolololololololol ..... seriously thanks cause i lmao!!

That has got to be the best 'spin' I've heard on N4G.

[Killed4Less]

Ah, there is that list again.. look how many shooters you listed.. And the sales for those games are decent but nothing spectacular. Many of those have taken over a year to reach 1mil and many of those are not even out yet(note we are 4-5 years into the gen here and you still have to refer to games not released to make your point).

Yet, you fail to mention the highest selling game on the PS3 is MW2, a multiplatform shooter. All those great exclusives still can't top a multiplatform shooter.

"It actually shows failure for 360 that it does not sell a whole amount more than the PS3 version."

MW2 sold 2:1 over the PS3 and it looks like BO is heading that way. So 2:1 not enough for you? Now that just shows failure for the PS3. Remember, the PS3 the game console with 120+ mil users and owned the last 10 years of gaming?? Talk about showing failure.

[nycredude]

This only proves 360 only fanboys love to take it in the ass. First by MS, then by activision. Double penetration. I am not saying Ps3 only fanboys don't take it also if they buy this shit. I quit cod after the last one. If I am ever compelled to play it I will torrent it. Fuck Activision!

[visualb]

that was expected =) all good, sold well on both consoles but 360 is really the console associated with COD

hell they got the DLC maps and the exclusive adverts, its not surprising.

COD sells loads as usual
if only more unique, bolder games sold this well D=

[vhero]

The advertising helped a lot more than the DLC I think but your pretty much right. Plus the fact the 360 is the shooters fan choice of console. With games like Gears and Halo it is very watered down with shooters so you would expect them to sell better on 360.

[N4Great]

no surprises : less good games + more americans boyz = more cod sold.

but almost all of others multiplatforms games same the same or more on ps3 now, despite the fact the console have more excluisves each years !

[TheLastGuardian]

I'm shocked /s

[CleanUP-CharliE]

Well duh, Xbots only have Black Ops and no good games on the way LOL

GT5 FTW!!!

[niceguywii60]

Not NA

LOL at the GT5 comments. GT5 is a Sim and the PS3 fan base is much smaller than the the PS1 and PS2.

[adamx]

you fear gt5.

[n4f]

LMAO both of you cant respond to your comment!

[nycredude]

niceguy

You need to check your facts instead of being lazy. The older Gt games released early in the Ps2 life cycle. I would say when it was only at 25,000,000 or so and went on to sell 15,000,000 copies.

[n4f]

no sh!t sherlock!!
what would be a surprise would be that wii version outsold everyone now that... will never happen

[TheBlackSmoke]

This article wins the No shit Sherlock award for excellence in journalism.

[aceitman]

that figured that out . lets see advertised as if it was only on the 360 . and then the devs . say its best on the 360 .. then lets see ms pays them for exclusive 1 month dlc, not to mention that i heard from an ms insider that ms ask them to not let the ps3 look as good as the 360 .... it will come out one day watch an see . an ms employee will come out with the dirt .. and u know its true cod waw didnt look that different and mw 2 they look the same... and i have to say the ps3 sold very well for a game being advertised for the 360 ...

[Mizz_mai]

Ummmm....good for activision then...?? They get totally free advertising from micrososft here in the U.K every 5 minutes

[FFXNo1]

When stupid Activision advertises the game for the 360, then what do you expect. But only by eight percent and this is the UK so no surprise

[Mizz_mai]

ummmm no it's microsoft who do the advertising actually...havent you seen it yet???

[showtimefolks]

all the ADVERTISEMENT is saying best on xbox360 it sold pretty well on ps3

[kparks]

they should just make a online only game with dedicated servers and just focus on that it would be the best online game ever!! i mean i like the campaign but for something that only last 5 hours go ahead and make it online only and have tons of guns and options and focus on it being the best online game ever it has the stuff there to do it already!

[xAlmostPro]

lets not lie, this was bound to happen.. but honestly i thought the gap would have been alot bigger between the 2..

[avengers1978]

Honestly did anyone not Know this was going to happen. Even people with both consoles would proble pick up the 360 version... Die Hard COD fans will of course get the game on the console that will have the DLC first.

[Odin777]

@Delbert Honestly man, I (and I'm sure the majority of PS3 gamers) really don't care. It's really not a surprise since Activision advertises it as an Xbox exclusive anyway. And regarding Conan; I disagreed with him because he was acting like a little bitch.

[vhero]

LOL whoever didn't guess this was gonna happen is deluded. We all know 360 is primarily a shooters fan console the DLC people will say helped but to be fair that doesn't effect initial sales of the game that much.

[CTU-Almeida]

Black Ops FTFW

[JsonHenry]

Who cares?

[Raendom]

Sherlock!

[topgeareasy]

for GT5
like me

[T9X69]

COD always sold better on 360, with or without GT. Shooters are dominating this gen, racers.....not so much.

[rrw]

Yes but GT5 is not you ordinary "racer" game.

[plb]

Cause GT5P only sold 5 million and was basically a demo, right?

[T9X69]

It doesn't matter if it's not your ordinary racer, or that GT5P was "basically" a demo (Which it isn't, it's sold on store shelves, it's a retail game, demos are not sold), if GT5 wasn't coming out here soon it's not like the PS3 version of COD would have shot up and passed the 360 version. GT or any other game has no effect on COD sales, COD will sell millions with or without GT or any other huge game coming out.

@iPad - I can't say EVERY shooter because there are so many, but some of the highest rated and best selling games have been shooters: COD, Battlefield, Medal Of Honor, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Halo 3/Reach, Gears of War 1/2 etc. How many games that are none shooters have sold nearly as much as shooters this gen? Not very many.

[iPad]

If by shooters you mean EVERY shooter, then no.

Only CoD and Halo.

[DigitalAnalog]

GT5:P (aka GT4.5 HD) was NOT a demo. In fact, looking at both games feature by feature, they're both different games. Different physics, different modes, complete license test, etc etc.

-End statement

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

It's obvious, I mean, I can save $60 from a game that is released every year, and buy GT5 which is more worth it, and a good Wheel.

[Silly gameAr]

Just had to approve. Everyone needs to know this awesome news that matters to us as gamers.

Nothing brings us together more as a community then sales boasting.

It's a great time to be a gamer.

[Jdoki]

Think you may have wanted to slap a /s on that post, people are not too good with subtlety round here (if indeed it was sarcasm! :) )

Today 360 fans get to boast about CoD sales and PS3 fans get to say 'sales don't matter', or 'people are waiting for GT5'

And tomorrow PS3 fans can boast about PS3 about to overtake 360 in WW sales, and 360 fans can say sales don't matter cus it took the PS3 4-5 years to do it.

:)

Good time to be a gamer

[Silly gameAr]

It's a never ending cycle.

[LowDef]

Same old shit.

[Rockstar]

^^^

[Cueil]

haha

[princejb134]

ok

[Raoh]

i'm amazed. lol

actually for some fans, the lack of dlc release on time, ps3 errors, etc turned a few people off. not to mention a call of duty release every year like its madden is not very appealing either.

[theafroman]

gee wat a big shock 360 is absoultly fill with a shooter audience.ps3 sold well around a million units which is good so

[despair]

where's captain obvious when you need him...

[iMaim]

really?
news to me.
/sarcasm

[Prcko]

xbox players love fps games!
a lot of them are ex pc players(and most pc players playing fps games)so i am not suprised!!!

[ngecenk]

wow.. this is news?

next time put fifa sales more on ps3 as headline pls!

[KillerPwned]

And we care why? The game sold, thats all that matters happens every yr with every single COD game. People rather play it on 360 probably because of the controller. Just my guess anyway people moving on to some real news....

[Ares84PS3]

the shitload of advertisement that sais: "Plays best on Xbox360" doesn't help selling the game on the PS3.

Why are people so suprised???

Every year MS does this and the result is that it sells somewhat more on the 360.

[KillerPwned]

Yeah they do or like that deal MS made to get the maps early. Gotta hand it to MS they know how to get a consumer to buy a product for their product.

I could get it for 360 but that would entitle me to buy a year of gold. I rather save money right now so ill be getting it for PC or PS3.

[gamerdude132]

Well, didn't everyone figure this out a long time ago?

[DiRtY]

Kinect sold so well! No Move-title ever made it as high as Kinect Sports (maybe the heavily bundled Sports Champion, which is out of the top40 already). Kinect Sports outselling CoD Black Ops on PC is just great.

[Jdoki]

C'mon, seriously?

You're measuring the success of Kinect Sports against sales of a totally different game on a totally different platform?

[silvacrest]

sales are sales to 360 fanboys

[DiRtY]

I Aam just saying that no move game ever sold as well as this Kinect game did. We have to wait quite some time for a move only game to reach this position.

And outselling the PC version of Black Ops was just for the lolz.

[Jdoki]

And what's your point Dirty? That PS3 owners are smarter than 360 owners cus they bought less motion control crap?? /jk

Can you honestly say you'd rather see massive sales of casual games (average ones at that), which will only lead to more casual crap, rather than MS investing in new IP, and more core games???

[Killman]

Wow, that was sooooo on topic. Because we ALL know that the Kinect has plenty to do with Call of Duty. Yep. So true. /S!!!

[blackburn5]

Yeah, we are kind of tired of the cookie cutter shooters as of late. I know 360 owners will flock to every war shooter like flies but in reality most of us really don't care or are waiting for GT5. Black OPS selling more on the 360 doesn't really concern us in the least. What exactly does that prove anyway? @ DiRtY what hell are you talking about? When did Kinect Sports outsell Black OPS? And games like Tumble, Flight HD and Eyepet got scores as high as KS. So what exactly are you smoking?

[Ares84PS3]

That isn't that big of a difference as some people make it out to be.

Maybe more PS3 users got fed up with FPS games...or COD in general?

I got it and all of my friends got it on PS3.

I have a feeling that GT5 will outsell COD on the PS3...dare I say that maybe CODBO's total sales will be surpassed by GT5.

[Jdoki]

It's actually 55% vs 42% - the rest is made up of PC and other formats (but doesn't include digital downloads of PC version).

That's not a bad figure for PS3 really. Seems like it's a less popular console for FPS games. 360 version has exclusive DLC; and a slight edge in performance. Then factor in the larger install base in UK for 360. I'd have been really shocked if the PS3 version had outsold the 360.

[visualb]

nah, its just the average PS3 user plays a greater variety of games...its always been that way

360 is for online/shooters

PS3 is for everything else

PS3 owner love the COD too however, most played PS3 game online, its just a huge franchise.

[Jigga69]

UK version of COD BO selling better on 360 Waoo that's a big news. Can't wait for knowing if PES selling better on PS3 in UK. Hmm no actually I don't care.

We can see how desperate 360 fanboys are with this news. PS3 will be above it no matter what.

[matey]

I OWN WII ONLY WAITING 4 A REAL HD CONSOLE IN THE WII2 ANYWAYS THE PS3 HAS THE BEST CONTROLLER EQUAL TO CLASSIC PRO DESIGNED FROM NINTENDO AND CAPCOM BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHO CARES SALES THIS SALES THAT HD WAS TOO EXPENSIVE THIS GEN AND CAUGHT DEVS OFF GUARD WITH THE REAL EXPENSE OF DEVELOPING HD GAMES IE THE PS3 GETS ALL THE PORTS WITH DOWNSCALED GAMEPLAY AND FRAMERATE IM JUST GLAD THE WII IS FIGHTING ITS OWN BATTLE BECAUSE I WOULD HATE OWNING A CONSOLE THAT BASICALLY HAS THE SAME GAMES AS THE OTHER HD CONSOLE ITS STUPID LETS HOPE NEXT GEN ITS SONY/NINTENDO DOING CROSS PLATFORM GAMES AND 360 DIES I HATE IT

[Qui-Gon Jim]

If you're trying to make your post unreadable, try removing spaces, too. I mean all caps plus no punctuation is doing a really good job of it, but you can take that extra step backward to really "sell" it.

[Zeevious]

With years of help and group support, he's already worked up to using that single "/" between (cover your ears) SONY and NINTENDO!

It must be all those // meetings he's attended.
They really do work...1 forward slash at a time.

[Dayngls]

well of course it did. it was advertised as only on 360

[karl]

360 losing ground rapidly .. cod doesnt sell on japan so SONY has one less territory and yet the numbers are so close

while 360 still has US on this case...

well doesnt matter anyway.. its not like COD tries to beat itself on sales...

[gillri]

I got the 360 version but seriously.....who cares which sold better?

oh I forgot....fanboys and defensive fanboys!!

[HungPHATx]

Seriously ? I thought it was a 360 exclusive by all the TV Ads ! "sarcasm" Sonys focus is inhouse games and not multiplats , that's MS thing cause there a software company and a gaming company

[Ruggadagod]

so the 360 fanboys that diss the ps3 have become so desperate for attention, that they have to yell to the internet that a MULTIPLATOFORM FIRST PERSON SHOOTER sold better on the 360.

i can see why because the 360 is just the shooterbox just like the xbox 1. ps3 owners don't have to just play those type of games.if i was still playing on xbox live, at least 90% of my friend list would consist of people playing black ops. on my psn list, they play all sorts of games. around 5 people on my psn list has the game including myself. i don't even play it too much, just here and there. I'm too busy enjoying superior single player games like the sly collection. i don't have the attention span of a fly.

it's all about diversity.

edit: disagrees already from the xbros i see.

@spartanv07: cut that bs out please before we have to take some bubbles from you. the dualshock 3 controller is good for all types of games, including fps. i really don't see the exact problem fps gamers have with the ds3 controller. just say you don't like PlayStation period. it would look better on you if you did. fable only sold because it was over-hyped and that's about it. fable 1 was pretty solid and my first ever wrpg and fable 2 was too boring i forced myself to finish it. i like jrpgs better.

oh yeah, i have a good amount of shooters on my ps3 but i play all types of genres. here's my collection of ps3 games:

1. 3d dot game heroes
2. Atelier rorona: the alchemist of arland
3. Battlefield bad company 2
4. Blazblue:continuum shift
5. Call of duty: black ops
6. Demon’s souls
7. Final fantasy xiii
8. God of war 3
9. God of war collection
10. infamous
11. Killzone 2
12. Littlebigplanet
13. Metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriots
14. Mod nation racers
15. Ratchet & clank future: tools of destruction

as you can see, i love diversity and not just shooters.

[Spartanv07]

they don't play shooters because dualshock is crap for fps games. also fable an rpg sold 3 million,there is more than shooters on xbox.

[psn_pugpeople]

but your also forgetting that only 3million copies sold and its also on PC so you cant say that it was all 360.

[silvacrest]

the dual shock 3 is fine for shooters, if you personally cant handle it then just say so, dont speak for everyone else

now the D Pad on the 360 is junk and i doubt any sane person will say otherwise

[artsaber]

Pay for all the game's advertising? "Best played on the Xbox 360." I mean people knew it was on PS3 too, but the way that adverts went, some folks may have thought the PC version never existed or that it was a MS exclusive. I'm not sure why it matters. If you like the game, buy it for whatever console you own. If you own both, pick who you play online with, and buy that version.

[psn_pugpeople]

If little babies cant get enough attension at home and have to boast about how they have no life and looked up this GARBAGE then let them at least i know both the 360 and ps3 have ups and downs, besides its a GAME!!!!!

[Close_Second]

...$130NZ for a PS3 game that does not even come close to the quality of K2. I will pick up this game but not until I can get it at a much reduced price.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I know a lot of my friends are just waiting for Killzone 3. Sure, Black Ops is an amazing game, but Killzone 3's beta has been much more impressive.

[DirtyLary]

Nothing new here.

XBOX competitive gamers have few titles to choose from HALO, COD and GOW

PS3 gamers have so many more options, SOCOM, MAG, KZ , UC2 R2 , COD and a ton more down the pipe.

[Moadeeb]

All those games on the PS3 yet 4 of the top 5 best selling games on the platform are multiplatforms. Maybe Sony can hire you to advertise their exclusives.

I come on this site just to get a laugh at Sony fanboys making such a big deal about stupid things.

[sick1nyne]

@Moadeed

I see you are baiting with a comment like that.

Oh and you said you come to this site to laugh at fans, sooooo, in other words you have no life?

[baker_boi]

Man lookit this. Somebody ACTUALLY BOUGHT THE PS3 VERSION AFTER I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YALL NOT TO!

Yall must want Treyarch to put more garbage like this on the PS3?

Man what the fuck is wrong with gamers these days...People gettin shafted and they still buy the product.

[saimcheeda]

if the 360 version didnt outsell the PS3 version!

[mrmancs]

ps3 owners more intelligent :) dats why. stick the crap bug ridden game up ur arse and i will stick wid moh.thanks.

[wingman32x]

Wow, shocker. It's right up there with revalations like the sky is blue, and 1+1 is in fact actually 2.

All jokes aside, a very large number of people knew this was coming. It's a pretty easy conclusion to come to given the numbers from the previous entries in the series. (Don't know how 2 & 3 sold, though).

[interrergator]

holy shit i didnt know that /sarcastic

[dkgshiz]

I feel a little retarded for even clicking on the link. What a waste of broadband.

[corroios]

This is all crap. What we all should be talking is why the COD games dont evolve.... The game is so weak. The animation are old, AI is where???, new multiplayer maps are amazing... not, lightn what??? quality of the explosion??? recoil??? o my God. The Zombie lvl, are great for 2000. Full of glitchs...

But, but, but is a 60 frames game....

Activision make more than 500 milions with a COD game and it should be alot alot alot better.... But ok lets continue talking about where it sell more....

play games and talk games. Not sales.

[L30N4KU]

why wasn't it mentioned that the Xbox version also suffers from some issues?

[SpinalRemains138]

Because Microsoft has a choke hold on reality.

[LoveMyKids]

Not Surprise 360 is cool

[SpinalRemains138]

Not surprise Ps3 is best

[looza]

Activison. Kotick. One of the glitchiest game of the year. People just love getting ____ in the ___. Forget 360 outselling ps3. The game should of bomb on all console in the first place to teach these _______ a lesson.

[Killman]

Like many others have said, this is obvious. It is an arcade competetive shooter, of course the 360 version will get more sales.

I [Emphasize]MIGHT[/Emphasize] get Black Ops down the road, mainly for the theatre mode, but only used. I am not supporting Bobby Kotick in any way.

[CleanUP-CharliE]

I knew PS3 owners were smarter than Xbox owners :)

[SKUD]

LOL. Well played sir.

[GeoramA]

I'm shocked that generic military shooter #899804580956802 would sell better on the 360.

SHOCKED!!!

[Halo_Reach]

They spent their time in the net saying their console is better coz the CELL.

360 gamers buy games thats why Reach had the 2nd best st week ever only behind Mw2 and now Black Ops...

Anyay Ps3 is lame to play games so who cares. Blu Ray player FTW <3

Xbox 360 version leads the way and Black Ops on Ps3 wont even Reach Halo 2 numbers back in 2004.

[SnakePlissken]

what are you, 5?

[gypsygib]

42% of their sales come from PS3 and they still don't have the respect to get the frame rate right - sub-50 FPS is unacceptable for COD.

[LilMissGoddess]

"Yeah, this is a no brainer. What would be news is if a shooter didn't sell better on the 360. 360 owners love their shooters. "

yea well darkride apparently YOU and the other SDF members love your shooters too, all i hear from you guys is you all getting off to kz3 news, r3 news, aren't those shooters as well?

hypocrisy at its finest, brought to you by the sdf idiots that stay on n4g 24-7.

[Pen15]

'Variety' is the key word here.

[SKUD]

Treyarch better take advantage of every one they can before the original member of IW come out with there new project. Its gonna whip COD ass right into the next moon light years away.

[SnakePlissken]

That comes as no surprise as thats all most xbots wanna play on the console! Kinda just locked into that type of game only and of course Halo.

[Sparticus_1]

BO is a arcade childrens game and more kids own an xbox....its a simple answer to a simple equation.

[andron]

I'm holding off until they patch the worst bugs and glitches. Sure many other PS3 owners are on the fence too.

I tried the 360 version at my brothers and liked it though. But right now I'm playing some MW2 instead...

[DAS692]

Is that they don't understand that gaming consoles have their seasons... of course ps3 doesn't have any new titles... most of them are coming this fall or Holiday season. GT5, LBP2, et cetera. The 360 does a good job of spreading the release dates out... but when you actually looke at it... the PS3 DOES have more exclusives... please... just COUNT them... its not that hard. If you hand isn't too far up your ass...

[crazyclown]

xbox got no games (i.e. exclusives)

[Spartanv07]

you mad. what ps3 had since may?nothing while 360 had Reach and fable III.

[Shok]

Damn, guess this means that the 360 is better.

Lol.

[Spartanv07]

last place, it's what you get for taking crap for 2 whole gens.

[badkolo]

its funny how all the peoople that dont like black ops come here, meanwhile ,where are the other 5.5 million, oh they are enjoying the game, thats where they are

[muzzy]

I'm waiting for more insight news like "Halo:Reach" X360 version outsells PS3 version a bazillion times.

[SpinalRemains138]

Oh my word.

The 360 fanboys have become so desperate to claim thet their system is better that they have to resort to this. Selling more COD games on their platform. The PS3 version is garbage to begin with lol. It's getting sad, guys. Your console is going to be last in sales this gen. Last in exclusives this gen, and last in hardware quality this gen (broken console and scratching discs). Just play Halo and go away already. Or play with baby lamas or tigers. Whatever you guys do with Kinetic.

[PoorMansGT]

same thing was said in 2008,ps3 is in last place for 4-5 years and still there. will stay there too forever. also using old excuses about failure rate when that is long gone especially with the new consoles. Bet you think YLOD or DRE with ps2 never existed huh? not anyone's fault sonys souless/generic games don't sell and are crap. go install and patch your games while playing online with no one talking.

[SpinalRemains138]

No one talking? You're joking right?
PS3 in last? You're joking right?

You don't live in reality. You're holding onto that year headstart like you need it to live. You feel it slipping away. NOOOOoooooooooooo! Baby tigers! NOOOOOooooooooooo! Jump around after you move the couch. NOOOooooooooooo!

Yes!
PS3

[Xander756]

Well yeah this isn't a surprise, the Xbox 360 version of most multiplatform games sells/plays better than its PS3 counterpart. So what? PS3 is still a great system.

[jacobdevos]

Xbox gamers enjoy monotonous FPS games!

[DarkFantasy]

who didn't see this coming,all cods on 360 out sold the ps3 version..who bloody cares ?

[peeps]

series has a bigger following on 360 + version is better than ps3. Still i got it on ps3 cus that's where my mates r

[GamingNtek]

who cares.
Bring on Killzone 3.

[captainjy]

Don't you mean, "2012 is the year of the PS3!" ??? You may want to shoot for 2013.

[nskrishna2]

have a strong cup of espresso..:)

[StitchJones]

Gee, like that wasn't going to happen.

[captainjy]

No surprise here, 360 almost always outsells the PS3- multiplatform, exclusives and hardware. It's great!

[nskrishna2]

Mutliplats totally agree...exclusives?? You new to gaming or something?

[strickers]

That's actually false.Ps3 sells more hardware.We hear more about US/UK sales where 360 is strong but over all EU and JP Ps3 creams 360.Some multis sell more in UK too and in both US/UK recent sales figures suggest attach rates of these multis are higher on PS3.

[kamehamehaftw]

Xbox is FPS console anyways whereas the PS3 is more RPG based. I'm not surprised.

[SlaughterMeister]

360 owners like bad games? Who knew?

ZING!

[renato]

Ok M$ Girls, it's your last chance...

[nano88]

xbox360 way better like always this ain't nothing new

[BrianC6234]

Why does anyone even write about this? Of course the 360 version sold more copies. The PS3 version is getting screwed. And most 360 gamers really only care about shooters. This type of game is so boring now.

[Dogswithguns]

Why should I care.... plays better on the Wii.

[horndog]

yeah plays better on the wii and probably looks JUST AS GOOD AS THE PS3 VERSION.

The better experience is on xbox360 at the moment though.

[Rom828]

Why do you *always* have to justify your console - JUST FUCKING ENJOY THE GAMES! You are gamers NOT representatives of Sony or any other company for that matter. Games are to be enjoyed, not to be a measuring rod for which console is better. I own both systems (PS3 and 360) and I have love and hate issues with both systems.

Oh well, it was worth a try...

[Psychic_Waffle]

I hate gamers.

That is all.

[kingboy]

lol reserved my hard earned cash for GT5 instead,hope my fellow "playstationers " did same

[StoneyYoshi]

i see alot of humor in these comments. "oh your proving something that makes one comsole better, your a fan boy, hes a fan boy shes a fan boy! well you know what??? every single person that has put a argument towards somebody else's post to prove something to try and seem like the smarter person that knows everything about every console are the fanboys! so yes i practicaslly called every single person that has argued in this topic a fanboy.

disagree all you want but i am right. :P if anybody aggres with me give me a bubble please?

[csreynolds]

Wow, you got a lot of bubbles... guess few agree with you :P

[KaiokenKid]

Well No shit.

[Jerkstore81]

I'm not surprised by this news at all considering all the DLC will be exclusive to the XBOX360 version through 2012. If you have both consoles, the 360 version is a no-brainer.

[shikamaroooo]

Ps3 Black ops outselling 360 version would of been something to write about

[AxeCain]

the only reason it sold better on the 360...
PS3 owners new not to buy this POS game.
OverHYPED!!!

[writersblock]

44% of the market share for the PS3? Thats not bad at all, considering the ratio for previous COD games

[Mafia2Rules123]

The Sun is bigger than the Earth.

[memots]

Really ?

I didn't think we needed multiplat to make us feel better.

[Kishin]

Fuck COD, gimmeh GT5 kthxbye.

[Bolts]

Because there are less mic using a-holes to annoy me. COD is not like MAG or Battlefield, talking and strategy is just a waste of time, time better spent on shooting and killing anything that moves.

[Neko_Mega]

1. It most likely out sold Kinect big time.

2. Most of the little kids are on 360, because it is a cheaper system to get and mom and dad only buy whats cheap.

3. The main reason why, 360 USERS LOVE THEIR FPS GAMES!!!

[cvflyboy]

If u own a ps3, the only game u care about is GT5 rite now...Xbots have no choice but to buy these mulitcrapform games...PS3= exclusives..
i spent my black ops money on something more enjoyable like a gt wheel... now good nite

[I_C_PEE]

Unlimited money pits can buy you a huge marketing campaign for any game. TV ads, print, internet. Basically flood every medium with the message "better on Xbox 360" and that shit is bound to get you more sales regardless of the game's title. More people are aware that its better on 360 due to the effort from MS and Activision and these two companies can back up that "better on 360" tagline by gimping on the PS3 version even though Infinity Ward has already proven that a Call Of Duty game can perform equally well on either platform.
Sony and developers working to form the blueprint of the PS4 should go a long way to the next generation starting off on an equal footing regarding ease of development for games.

[csreynolds]

Sorry. I just wanted to see what it was like to be an Xbox fanboy. All of a sudden, my chances of making friends or getting laid seem very very small...

[bayport]

Did this actually surprise anyone? lol

[JustGamer]

I think I will never understand why people here care so much about sales. That makes no difference for us, unless you get paid for discussing 200 posts of a stupid and irrelevant fact for the consumers.

Seriously, fanboys (Sony and MS), go suicide or something...

[pupa]

Poor sods, the exbots are so hungry for a decent title they will grab at anything available. I mean Halow is such an overrated repeat IP that it can hardly keep a 5 year old happy.

[wissam]

Is this a joke ?

[nskrishna2]

Is this news really that surprising? This was expected, wasn't it?

[earbus]

Well it seems to be the best version to own as the problems on pc are huge...

[BlueEye]

Xbox usually outsells PS3 with COD, plus there is the fact that Treyarch screwed everyone except Xbox users with lag and watered down ports.

[NeloAnjelo]

Of course it Will... PS3 gamers have a bigger choice of games as a result of moe exclusives.

Also, the U.S. is COD and 360 land, and there are more PS3s in households than PS3s.

Is this news to anyone?

[GaMr-]

Damn... Desperate much? Of course it's gunna sell like crazy. What else do 360 owners have to look forward to?

[FF7numbaone]

42 to 55 isn't bad ps3 owners have a lot more options.
