It seems that Xbox 360 owners are the most liberal with their spending on software, with it being revealed that consumers with Microsoft's console buy more games per head than either Wii or PS3 owners.
According to statistics from research firm NPD, and reported on tech.co.uk, Microsoft sell 7 games per Xbox 360 console sold, Sony sell 4 games per PS3, and Nintendo comes bottom of the class, selling only 3.44 games per Wii sold.
Naysayers and doubters will argue...
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
well the 360 is the TRUE NEXT GEN gaming machine. The Wii gets way to tiring to play for more than 1 hour .. The PS3 is more a Blu Ray player.. So all the gamers who play games choose the 360! Jump in baby!
The RROD box is definitely the choice for those who cant afford the Wii or the PS3. Its great for thsoe who have never played RPG's to convince themselves that rpg's that run on the RROD360 are the best RPG's ever made as well as the best graphics ever! Its only a matter of time before Sony closes the door on games, due to how amazing the 360 is doing! 12 million units in 2 years is pretty amazing.
Considering the ps2 did 40 million units around the same amount of time, the 360 is definitely coming close to those figures to dominate this generation.
Well except for not being able to defeat the wii.. with its most impressive game lineup ever. But hey,, there are at least 30 million people who haven't been able to afford a 250 dollar 360 to play halo world wide, they are just waiting for the arcade version to become more of an affordable choice, then thats when its all over.
LOL... seriously is that how it feels to be an xbot? to honestly believe all that?
the ps3 has sold 5 million units without any major franchise games, its over xbots. No more delaystation or wait station.. Mulitplats are becoming better on the ps3 for major titles (COD4, UT3) Ton of exclusives this year.. Uncharted, Ratchet, Haze, Folklore, Heavenly Sword... oh my. Well lets hope halo3 and mass effect can get to those casual buyers who love rpgs and fps... and hate disney bluray movies.. god its over.
NO SH*T THAT THE 360 BUY MORE GAMES.
Duh, this article is nothing more but flamebait.
Alright, and this is new news? Maybe to xbots it is because they by far have the shortest memory. This has long been known that the 360 has the higher game attach ratio. It doesn't change the fact the the xbox and the 360 have had only two profitable quarters and that's because of Halo.
