1.2 - LOL at
[PS3] Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Konami) - 94k
[360] Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Konami) - 5k

ps3 2 million - 94k
360 800,000 - 5k

94 vs 5 = sold 19 times more but the ps3 install base is not even 3 times more than 360.

my point is 360 owners enjoy more shooting and blood games and it is strange to see square enix supporting such fans, clearly they dont like the same cup as japanese like, and SE should focus more on japanese then the world because without japanese support they will bankrupt.

1.3 - @The Killer
Then explain why games like Valkyria Chronicles and LBP haven't sold well in Japan? Is it because all japanese PS3 owners are sport jocks who are too stupid to buy good games? I don't think so. Take your bigot views into the open zone.

There is a difference between the japanese market and the western market. 360 games with blood and gore like Gears 2 aren't big sellers in Japan. Neither are sports games. I think most japanese 360 owners have gotten a 360 to play the exclusive RPGs, cause those are the only type of games that have had some kind of success in Japan.

1.4 - @jenzo
then why the sales of Pro Evolution Soccer was 19 times better on ps3?

janapese love only their home made games like capcom.konami,SE etc thats a true and sad fact, and since most who bought 360 in japan bought it mostly for halo,gears etc these people most probably not into RPGs,sports etc other wise they would have rushed to buy Pro Evolution Soccer.

if LBP was made by nintendo so u think it would had the same sales???
japanese culture is somehow closed culture!

also they bought the japanese style of game from these japanese companies, so if a japanese company made a game that have a little west style then it will turn them off.

just remember street fighter 4 will suck in sales compare to any japanese pure fighting game!

But it's VG Chartz remember...

Anytime something about 360 is said to be better than Ps3, you guys go on and on about, "Oh, VGChartz is crap! Their numbers are always waaaaaay off!"

So where's the sarcasm and lack of respect for VGchartz now?

Like I always suspected... you only accept something if it says what you want to hear! Your fanboy subscription has just been renewed!

Well, good for Ps3! I hope they sold a few more consoles in the process.

Did that make you feel manly, callin me a dumbass?

If your dumb@ss was paying attention, I was showing how the fanboys act when they see something! Alot of the time they don't bother to read the article, and just see "VGChartz" and go nuts!

Everything is not black and white buddy... Look closer! I make multiple points in comments, but only those that are smart can read between the lines!

Hint: I just insulted you several times, in several different ways. But you will probably only see 2-3 of them... And i'm the dumbass???

By the way... It's "You're" a dumbass! Not "Your"... Pick up a dictionary once in a while or something before you start with the name calling.

Look at all the hate on my above post... Yeah, i'll probably lose a bubble just for trying to be funny and prove a point... Pretty sad really...

im surprised you guys found something to flame over....

of-course the PS3 version would sell more....I hope you guys realize that alot of Japanese gamers also own both the PS3/360 and most times Japanese gamers will always buy a PS3 version of the multi-plat and the install base is 3 times there size of the 360...

even if Last Remnant was released simultaneously it would have still sold more on the PS3 days one

Konami is loving PS3 this year, between this an MGS4.

But lets not forget that this is VGCharts, and they are not very accurate.
