Didn't EA and Sony have tons of marketing for PS3 battlefield compared with the 360 version? Why did the 360 crushed the PS3 version? This is quite surprising.

PS3 owners are waiting for Modern Warfare 3. Watch MW3 sell at least 4-5 million on the PS3 in the first week.

sales of multiplat almost always skew in favor of 360 by a large margin these days...there are just a lot more 360 owners in NA/Europe(Japan obviously not). Just look at metacritic and look at how many critic reviews there are for a 360 vs a PS3 version of a game. 360 is basically the de-facto console this generation. I give MS props here, I mean Sony did shoot itself in the foot in some ways, but still. To be able to get to this point on your second gen console is amazing.

America is the land of the first person shooter.

360 is owning PS3 in America sales wise.

Battlefield outsells PS3 in North America. To be expected.

But in Europe PS3 Battlefield outsold 360's albeit only by a little.

PS3 has more than 2 exclusives to play this year, besides the PC version is vastly superior in every way possible.

No issue, MW3 is the reason EA isn't pleased with the sales of BF3 on PS3.

How is the 360 the shooter console when there are more shooters on the PS3, and shooters are also the most played games on the PS3? Shouldn't they both be shooter consoles?

No issue, MW3 is the reason EA isn't pleased with the sales of BF3 on PS3.

Selling over 1 million on PS3 is bad now? it sold 2 mil on 360 and over a mil on PS3, the game sold great in only few weeks, how is that bad?

It could have been better, but since Black Ops is the best-selling game in the history of PS3 (easily outselling U3, LBP, MGS, KZ etc.), I guess people will buy MW3 and therefore skip this.

This. cows fail to understand that 360 is the shooter, RPG, Racer, (Forza>GT) and Arcade/Indie console. The only thing I see on PS3 that is not better represented on 360 is platformers. JRPG's, too, but most JRPG's have been abysmal this gen.

The extra marketing for the PS3 version wasn't because EA actually expected that version to sell better, it's because Sony payed them off.

360 is the shooter, RPG, Racer, (Forza>GT) and Arcade/Indie console. Plagueless
It's definitely dominates the shooter market, mainly because the market is concentrated in NA, where the 360 sells better.

RPG, I don't know, depends on what we're referring to as an RPG.

As for racing, if you're referring to sales in this post, GT5 alone will likely have outsold all three Forza games on the 360.

Is everybody failing at maths today? Double the almost 1,500,000 PS3 sales gets you 3 million, the 360 being no where near double the sales. Still it's going to be more interesting to see the yearly software sales than single games as the make up of how the two console bases spread their sales is very different.

Poor thread title. I wouldn't have said twice as much. Even "nearly twice" is a stretch and misleading. It is only around 1.51 times as much.

That's pretty simple. Xbox has always attracted more shooter fans and has a more well-rounded community with better online features. Also most people who have an Xbox 360 and XBL will rather get a game on the Xbox because they pay for XBL.

Gamespot isn't letting me link ****. I hate this site some times. Just google search it. It's pretty much common knowledge on system wars that Black Ops is the best selling PS3 and 360 game.

I'm not surprised.

At the Midnight Launch just about everyone bought the 360 version.

Funny enough one of my friends thought it was a PS3 exclusive.

Who ever wrote that article is a tool, only 500k for PC, but thats only retail, i bought my copy DIGITALLY and im sure a ton of people did too, did EA say they sold 5mil in first week ? These two consoles are what 3.7 mil then it means 1.3 mil for pc ? maybe im wrong on the numbers but its not 500k. And 360 didnt sell double lol, the dude cant count, it only sold 50% more then ps3.
