Batman Sales Split only 55/45 in UK - 360/PS3

Looks like the 360 version of Batman is having trouble in territories, even those where it's userbase is twice the size of the PS3's.

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/charts/formats/xbox360/batman-aa-sells-more-on-xbox-360-in-uk-tops-charts-$1323642.htm

The sales were split in favour of the Xbox 360. Despite the latter's exclusive playable character of The Joker (one of the best features of the game in our opinion), 55 per cent of sales went to the Xbox 360 and 45 per cent to the PlayStation 3 according to numbers provided by Gfk Charttrack.

Then again, this is actually a very close sales split considering the installed base of Microsoft's console is almost twice as high as Sony's PS3 in the region.

Cool.

So sales matter now? Even worse a Sony fan bragging about sales when the 360 version of the game is selling better. Ok I'll bite though since sales all of a sudden matter do you admit the 360 is a better console since it has sold around 8 million more then the PS3?

good stuff, glad to see the game looks to be doing well. if this sells well we may see a sequel which is win/win.

usually we take regions into consideration specially for Europe.. this is just the chart for 1 country (UK)... i guess considering the PS3 has half of the install base compared to 360 in that country its selling nearly on par..

Yes but does it surprise you people with the option are buying the superior version with Joker DLC?

I'm not sure what the end game for Sony fans is in this thread. Claiming a victory in that their console's userbase has a proportionately stronger proclivity to buy Batman games?

surely it makes difference to devs...

but i believe devs look at Europe as a whole not just UK so we cannot say which version sold more in EU territory until we have numbers from all european countries..

Anyway plan to get the game later on next week on PS3 due to the extra DLC, as far as sales go let the devs worry about it and we gamers enjoy the game :)

Oh and dont forget Blu-Ray cost 3 to 4x as much per disc for the dev as well so this is really bad. Sony is going to run out of feet to shoot if they have not already.

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"][QUOTE="sexy_robot_man"]I care? XBOX 360 has sold more at the end of the day and since this is a sales thread that is all the shareholders will notice. The PS3 has EXCLUSIVE content and enough of a userbase to overtake XBOX 360 in ONE multiplat title, but yet again PS3 owners don't buy games they rent Blu-Rays.

ohh i see... so i guess all 360 exclusives and/or great multiplatssold 10+ millions each, right ??

considering people dont buy 360 as a blu-ray player and it has an 8 million more install base, but only a handfull of titles exceeded 5 million copies with the rest big titles selling under 3-4 million, i dont understand why PS3 haters make such a fuss about games not selling on PS3..

If game X sells3 million on intall base of 24mill and game Y sells5 million on another install base of 32 million, it means

1 out of8 got game X

1 out of6 got game Y

If it happens that many believe a large no. of PS3 owners got it as a blu-ray player being its main/only use, then looks like PS3 titles sell more when compared to install base.. But obviously PS3 haters spin things so one day PS3 sold 24million only cause many thousans/millions wanted a blu-ray player, but when it comes to sales if we compare games sales to install base in order to favour even more the 360, suddenly the 24 million become all GAMERS..

SW and its (lack of) logic :)

I see now the Cows want to get off the sales aspect and talk about how much they enjoy their games. Please make up your minds this was a sales thread. I have made my point.

its stupid to list costsfor blu-ray compared to DVD, us being gamers whats importantis that PS3 games on a 'new disk medium' Blu-ray cost the same as 360 games on an older medium which is DVD when we buy them in stores...

I find that a bit strange since the PS3 version had the exclusive content. It's probably why it's so close even with the 360 userbase being larger. Ah well, the game is awesome no matter what, so good for them that it's selling.

[QUOTE="Malta_1980"]

[QUOTE="sexy_robot_man"]Sadly it does for you and me both since most of the PS3 exclusives(Killzone2 included) have sold far below expectations.

Well there must be a lot of 360 owners, because getting the 360 version over the ps3 version is like buying condoms with holes in them, you just wouldn't do it.jonesy1911

I for one am not a PS3 hater sexy_robot_man

So you are naive enough to think that devs pay the same for Blu-Ray as they do a DVD? sexy_robot_man

I don't understand the point of this, the publisher would put that down to exclusive content probably, rather than a lack of interest in the game from the 360 side.

I'm getting it for the 360 but this game is as messy as this thread, PS3 gets extra character level, PC gets PhysX enhancements (which are pretty good actually), the limited edition gets extra challenge rooms.

And in this thread, on the one side you have people saying X360 userbase twice as big, yet almost as many sales on PS3. Then you have people saying well 360 gets the sales but at least PS3 get the exclusive content.

So a negative spin has been put on a positive story, because I can't see how the dev/publisher won't be happy it topped the charts and sold well on both consoles and I can't see them being surprised the exclusive content did its job by shifting some extra sales for one side.

I don't now why or how this has been spun into some sort of 360 attack :?

I only own a 360 so of course I bought the 360 version. Expect much the same account from around the world when more numbers come pouring in. Joker is nice and all but 360 owners aren't going to pass on a really good game because of such a small issue as exclusive Joker challenges. I wouldn't be surprised if 360 owners get some dlc of their own eventually especially if this game sells as well as I think it will and deserves to.
