They pinned their hopes on Halo 3 to boost sales in EU. The result is as disastrous as others predicted.

in UK too FIFA has overtaken HALO 3 and so does in AUSTRALIA.

with the 399 EU ps3 on the way we can determine the names of the ps3 games which would be dominating EU charts in the upcoming months

BLaZiN PRopHeT6056d ago

didnt you say the halo effect was over? and look it had 2 games in the top 10 and 3 360 games in the top 10.

DEADEND6056d ago

That's why it's a good that SONY bundled the PS3 with it this holiday session. I can see a lot of PS3 being sold in UK because of this game. I think it will sell really well for the PS2 more but it's still a win win for SONY either way.

wow the ps3 version is on top of the 360 one lol dats good

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii119d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies119d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer156d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog156d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned156d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c156d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb156d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72155d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman156d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows155d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72167d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai167d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ167d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil167d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
