There's two charts, one is All formats (which combines all the same games into one entry - Call of Duty World of War is one entry, for example), on the one I linked to, it breaks it down by format, (so there's one entry for each console for CoD).

I dont think its fair to include MGS4 when Sony didnt publish the game also why didnt you include Forza 2 and Viva Pinata, 4ml and 1.5ml respectively (bundles can work wonder for game sales eh)

Sony = 2 platformer, 2 racers, 1 FPS, 1 Hack/slash and 1 Stealth
MS = 2 TPS, 1 FPS, 1 racer, 1 RPG, 1 garden sim

Seems like both have variety but even with less games MS manages to sell more of them

As for R2 debuting at 2 that pretty bad when you consider its Sonys main shooter franchise (after Killzone) and it couldnt even outsell a 3 week old multiplatform game that poor no matter how you try and spin it

darkride66 - 393 days 22 hours ago

MS has an attach rate of approx 7 or 8. You have to figure 5 of those games are Halo 3, COD4, GTA4, Gears and Gears 2. Other than that, 360 owners turn their noses up at everything else. Just look at sales of TombRaider Underworld, Banjo Kazooie, Too Human, Lost Ody or Blue Dragon. LBP sold over a million copies in a month, and it's a platformer. Has Banjo even done 100,000?

I think the long term issue is that, despite there being more than FPS's on the 360, FPS's are the only games 360 owners seem to want. If you're a developer with a platformer, or just looking to try something new - do you develop for the 360 or for the PS3 or Wii?

That's really all that matters. I enjoy them more than Gears or Halo (though Halo 3's MP is a lot of fun). Sony's work is just fine thus far.

I guess real ps3 owners (real people not msg board superfans) realized resistance isn't a AAA shooter franchise

Sony has a LOT of work to do if they want to have their own Halo or Gears

----------------------------

Not in Europe they won't son.

The VERY OVERhyped Halo 3 wasn't only outsold by every iteration of the GT and GTS 3 series, but also Eyetoy Play, Getaway, MGS 2 & 3, Tekken Tag Tournament, FFX, many of the NFS/LotR/ Fifa/ PES series, MoH:Frontline/Rising Sun, 007 James Bond Nightfire, Crash Bandicoot Wrathe of Cortex, Simpsons Hit & Run, to name but a few PS2 titles. Hell even Sonic Heroes outsold Halo here and equaled Halo 2 sales.

RFoM was a LAUNCH title for the PS3 and has sold 1.85 units to date,
http://vgchartz.com/worldto...

Gears was released 12 months after the XB360 launched..
http://vgchartz.com/worldto...

and sold 1.85 million units to date exactly the same. CoD4..
http://vgchartz.com/worldto...

Sold 1.86 million on the XB360 beating Gears, but only 1.73 million on the PS3 so sold less than RFoM.

Halo

http://vgchartz.com/worldto...
Sold 1.42 million, Halo 2 1.68 million and Halo 3 2.28 million here.

So Resistance equaled Gears sales, outsold Halo 1 and 2, the only record MS has left in Europe is Halo 3, the again Halo3 was released 22 months after the XB360s launch and is 37 months old [Dec 05 - Dec 08].. The PS3 is 21 months old [Mar 07 - Dec 08].

So the PS3 already HAD it's Halo killer in Europe at least, you just weren't paying attention! Not bad for a LAUNCH title eh? lol

BTW R2 was only released here on the 28th of Nov those charts were up to the w/e 29th Nov.

Jellzy - 393 days 17 hours ago

Padding is done by most companies worldwide to create figures that keep consumers, and bigwigs happy.

Its sort of how Microsoft persists on including re-purchased/replaced 360 sales in its overall hardware sales numbers. These being due to RRoD, and other 360 malfunctions and/or because of piracy and live lock outs.

I dont care how they get there numbers but lets not try and point out Sony, when both Microsoft and Ninty do it aswell (Wii Sports anyone?! ;))

PS3 owners are buying both WAW and R2, but then again, we could easily say Congrats Epic, Gamers would rather buy a poor multiplat than a game you made exclusive for the 360 just for them.

Epic must be thrilled to know they were outsold by a POOR multiplat.
